Auto-File Naming of AudioSuite-
Processed Audio
When new audio files are created as a result of
AudioSuite processing, Pro Tools will auto-name
these files according to the type of plug-in used.
The name of the region determines the prefix,
while the type of AudioSuite plug-in determines
the suffix.
Auto file-naming follows these rules:
◆ New regions are named beginning with the
region name, followed by an abbreviation of the
current AudioSuite process, followed by stan-
dard Pro Tools file and region numbering.
◆ If a plug-in’s File Mode pop-up is set to Over-
write, the original region’s name will not be
changed.
◆ If a plug-in’s File Mode pop-up is set to Create
Individual Files, the resulting regions will have
an abbreviated version of the plug-in name ap-
pended to them.
Other AudioSuite Controls
In addition to the standard AudioSuite controls,
there are a number of special-purpose controls
found on certain plug-ins:
Plug-In Librarian and Settings Menus The Set-
tings and Librarian pop-up menus that appear
in some AudioSuite plug-ins provide a means of
saving, loading, copying, pasting and organiz-
ing custom plug-in settings files. See “Using the
Librarian” on page 26.
Analyze Button Analyzes a selection without ac-
tually processing it. On the DigiRack Gain plug-
in, you can use the Analyze feature to determine
the maximum peak level on a track at a specific
gain value before you process the audio.
Side-Chain Input Selector Selects a track/bus to
be used to trigger processing. In order to use this
feature, the key input source audio must occur
at the same time as the target audio. Side-chain
input is monophonic. See “Side-Chain Process-
ing” on page 22.
AudioSuite Processing
Preferences
Before you begin using AudioSuite plug-ins, use
the Preferences dialog (Setups > Preferences >
Processing) to configure default AudioSuite op-
tions according to your needs. These options in-
clude the default dither setting, a dither on/off
checkbox, and the AudioSuite buffer size op-
tion.
AudioSuite Dither When selected, dither is ap-
plied during certain AudioSuite processes (such
as Normalize and Gain), using the dither algo-
rithm selected in the Dither Plug-In pop-up
menu. Dither is most useful when working with
low-level files that contain a fade in or fade out.
Side-chain inputs for plug-ins have no effect
on AudioSuite processes when the Selection
Reference is set to Region List.
