Applying Audio Plug-Ins to Buses
You can apply audio plug-ins to Main and Sub buses just like any other track, with which to
apply any audio mastering effects operations you require to individual submixes, or even to an
entire main.
Dealing With Processor Intensive Plug-Ins
As you apply more and more plug-ins directly to clips in complicated mixes, you may discover
you lack the processing power to play all audio tracks and effects in real time. When this
happens, there are two ways you can ease the burden that audio clip effects are placing on
your workstation.
Caching Audio Clips With Plug-Ins
One quick fix is to manually enable the caching of one or more selected audio clips with audio
effects applied to them to improve your project’s performance. Once an audio clip is cached, all
plug-in effects are “baked in” and that clip’s audio waveform updates to reflect the altered
audio. Cached clips appear with a small badge to the right of the FX badge in the name bar
of the clip.
A cache badge lets you know this audio clip has cached effects
This is a non-destructive operation that has no lasting effect on the source media of cached
clips. You can still alter a cached clip’s plug-in parameters whenever you want. Opening the
graphical controls of a cached clip temporarily suspends audio caching, and when you’re
finished, the clip is automatically re-cached and its waveform is updated to reflect the change
so long as Cache Audio Effects remains enabled.
To cache audio effects for one or more selected clips:
Right-click an audio clip with a plug-in applied and choose Cache Audio Effects to
enable audio effect caching for that clip. If you right-click one of multiple selected clips,
you’ll enable Cache Audio Effects for all selected clips at once. Once enabled, that clip
will be continue to be cached (and re-cached if you change the plug-in’s parameters)
until you manually disable audio caching.
To disable audio caching for one or more selected clips:
Right-click an audio clip that’s been cached and choose Cache Audio Effects to disable
audio effect caching for that clip.
