EFFECTS – ORGANIZATION AND WORK FLOW 163
Effect Routing
The sequence of all real-time effects can be adjusted individually for each track. You can
therefore individually specify the sequence in which the effects are used. Please also read
the section "Order of effect calculations" in the "Effects and effect plug-ins" section.
External hardware effects integration
(only for "Mixer FX monitoring/Hybrid Engine")
To integrate external effects devices into your setup, you will require a multi-channel audio
interface. Reserve a channel pair for every external effect device you wish to integrate.
The integration of external effects or synthesizers occurs via the new dialog "Options menu
-> Project options -> External effects". Here you can set up the inputs and outputs for 32
external devices, create new "Effect send" and "Effect return" tracks, as well as specify
effects latencies so that they can be taken into account during latency compensation.
The order of inputs and outputs for the program is saved globally. The setup of external
effects integration is project-dependent.
Hint: Return tracks have to be recorded first in order to be available for track bouncing and
CD burning. For this reason, external effects are integrated via the program's own tracks
and are not available in the tracks themselves as plug-in inserts.
You can open the "External effects" dialog via "Project options" and with the keyboard
shortcut "I".
