Using the range automation modes
All four range automation modes are useful when mixing
groups of tracks, such as background vocals or horn
sections, within a specific time range, where you want to
jump in and change the mix just for that range without
changing it before or after.
These modes provide the following additional benefits:
■ The range automation modes allow you to use the same
control for modifying the data as you did for entering it. For
example, if you automated a plug-in filter sweep using the
knob in the plug-in window, you can use that same knob to
adjust your original sweep, without having to do by some
other means (such as editing the automation data in the
track).
■ The range automation modes allow you to make changes
to automation data without having to switch edit windows to
display the automation data. Instead, you can continue
viewing the data you are currently viewing, such as
soundbites (or automation data of another type).
NEW EFFECTS PLUG-INS
Ten new effects plug-ins have been added, providing faithful
emulations of classic effects useful for guitars, basses, and
other audio sources alike.
Channel configurations
The following shorthand is used to describe the available
channel configurations:
Analog Chorus
Analog Chorus emulates the popular Boss CE™ series of
effects pedals from the early ’80s.
Rate: sets the rate of the LFO, in Hertz (Hz), between
approximately 0.2 Hz and 3.7 Hz.
Depth: sets the depth of the LFO.
Mix (mono-to-mono and stereo-to-stereo): controls the wet
signal level. In stereo-to-stereo mode, the colored “dry”
signals are passed directly to the output (L to L and R to R),
while the “wet” signals are crossed (L to R and R to L).
Mode (mono-to-stereo): selects the stereo output mode.
Mode I outputs the dry signal minus the wet signal in the left
channel and the dry signal plus the wet signal in the right
channel; mode II outputs the dry signal in the left channel
and the wet signal in the right channel.
Status light: displays the bypass state; when lit, the effect is
active.
Pedal: bypasses or enables the effect. This works the same as
the Effects window’s Bypass button.
