Linking and Unlinking Controls on
Multi-Mono Plug-ins
When a multi-mono plug-in is used on a multi-
channel track, the controls are normally linked.
Adjusting the Gain control on one channel, for
example, will adjust it for all channels.
If necessary, you can unlink plug-in controls on
specific channels of a track and edit them inde-
pendently. You can also selectively link the con-
trols of specific channels.
To unlink controls on a multi-mono plug-in:
■ Deselect the Master Link button.
To access controls for a specific channel:
■ Select the channel from the Channel Selector.
To link the controls of specific channels:
1 Deselect the Master Link button if it is not al-
ready deselected.
2 Click the Link Enable buttons for the chan-
nels whose controls you want to link.
Adjusting Plug-In Parameters
You can adjust plug-in controls by dragging the
control’s slider or knob, or by typing a value into
the control’s text box. Additonally, some plug-
ins have switches that can be enabled by click-
ing on them.
To adjust a plug-in control:
1 Begin audio playback so that you can hear the
control changes in real time.
2 Adjust the controls of the plug-in for the effect
you want. Refer to “Editing Parameters Using a
Mouse” on page 21 and “Editing Parameters Us-
ing a Computer Keyboard” on page 21.
3 Closing the plug-in will save the most recent
changes.
Editing Parameters Using a Mouse
