Chapter 3: Working with AudioSuite Plug-Ins 27
Multichannel Processing
Many Digidesign AudioSuite plug-ins allow up
to 48 channels of audio to be processed simulta-
neously.
Undoing AudioSuite Processing
If you have processed an audio selection non-
destructively, the Undo and Redo commands al-
low you to undo the selected AudioSuite pro-
cess. You can undo/redo an AudioSuite process
during audio playback.
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 Parameters
In addition to the standard AudioSuite parame-
ters, there are a number of special-purpose con-
trols found on certain plug-ins:
Plug-In Librarian/Settings Menus The Settings
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 18.
Analyze Button Allows you to analyze a selection
without actually processing it. For example, on
the DigiRack Gain plug-in, the Analyze feature
allows you to determine the maximum peak
level on a track at a specific gain value before
you process the audio.
Side-Chain Input Selector Allows you to select a
track/bus to be used to trigger processing. In or-
der to use this feature, the key input source au-
dio must occur at the same time as the target au-
dio. See “Using a Key Input for Side-Chain
Processing” on page 16.
Undo is not available when a plug-in is con-
figured for destructive editing since the pro-
cess has already overwritten the source au-
dio file.
Side-chain inputs for plug-ins have no effect
on AudioSuite processes when the Selection
Reference is set to Region List.
