Chapter 40: AudioSuite Processing 853
Follow these guidelines:
• To process the selected region only in the
track in which it appears, select Playlist for
the Selection Reference. Alternatively, if
you want to process the selected region in
the Region List only, select Region List.
• If you want to process and update every oc-
currence of the selected region throughout
your session, enable the Use In Playlist but-
ton (and also select Region List as the Selec-
tion Reference). Alternatively, if you do not
want to update every occurrence of the se-
lected region, deselect the Use In Playlist
button.
• To configure the plug-in for destructive
processing, select Overwrite Files for the File
Mode. This will overwrite and permanently
modify the original source audio files.
• Alternatively, to configure the plug-in for
nondestructive processing, select Create In-
dividual Files for the File Mode. This will cre-
ate new audio files that have been
processed with the AudioSuite plug-in set-
tings and leave the original source audio
files untouched.
• If you have selected multiple regions for
processing and want to create a new file
that connects and consolidates all of these
regions together, select Create Continuous
File for the File Mode.
4 Click the Preview button to audition the Au-
dioSuite processing of the selected material.
5 Make any further adjustments to the plug-in
controls if necessary.
6 When you are satisfied with the results, click
the Process button.
The selected audio is processed according to the
specified settings. Pro Tools appends an acro-
nym to the region name indicating the Audio-
Suite process that has been applied. Any new au-
dio files appear in the Region List.
Selecting Tracks for AudioSuite
Processing
Because AudioSuite processes are performed on
the specific regions that you select, it is impor-
tant that you select only those regions, or parts
of regions, you actually want to process.
Selecting Tracks for Delay or
Reverb Processing
Because some AudioSuite effects such as delay
and reverb add additional material to the end of
the selected audio, it is important that you make
a selection that is longer than the original source
material so that the plug-in can write it to the
audio file. If you select only the original mate-
rial, without leaving additional space at the end,
any reverb decay or delay that occurs after the
end of the region will be cut off.
To compensate for this, place the region in a
track and select the audio plus an amount of
blank space at the end of the region equal to the
amount of delay or reverb decay that you have
added in the plug-in. The plug-in will then have
space at the end of the region in which to write
the final delay or decay. If you select more time
than needed, you can trim it after applying Au-
dioSuite processing.
When processing a single audio channel
with an AudioSuite plug-in, make sure that
the plug-in is set to Mono mode, if available.
