166 EFFECTS – ORGANIZATION AND WORK FLOW
effect-return channel, set the input of the sound card via "Record" that is connected with
the external effect output. For the channel that is intended to work with the external device,
set the effect-send track via "Playback" [e. g. Submix: PCM70 Send (track 16)].
The double arrow buttons beside the track name field in the track settings dialog may be
used to switch the track settings to those of the neighboring track.
It is possible to use an effect combined as AUX as well as a submix bus. To do so, both
options have to be active when creating new tracks. Use of the FX may be changed after
the fact by accessing the track properties (right click on the track header for the FX send
bus) and setting a check next to the corresponding setting, i.e. "AUX bus", "Submix bus",
or "Pre-master bus".
Effect as pre-master bus
If you select "Pre-master bus" when creating tracks, the new tracks will be added at the
end of the project, and then all project tracks will be routed to the input of the send track.
The return track is automatically routed to the master. This way you can use the external
effect as a master effect.
Setting latencies for external effects
Almost every external device has a latency that has to be compensated in order to be able
to function synchronously with the tracks in the arrangement.
Use the "Set latency of the effect" button to set the latency of an effect. A ping signal is
transmitted to the "Send" and the time it takes to reach the "Return" channel is
determined. The resulting value is composed of doubled ASIO buffer size and the latency
of the external effect device.
The option "Automatically identify output (send) device" emits ping signals to all
available devices. The device that matches the effect is determined automatically. It is
required that the input device for the effect be set prior to this.
Integrating external synthesizers
Select the MIDI port here as the output device (send) via which you can control the
synthesizer. Specify the input of your sound card where the synthesizer can be found as
the input device (return). Press the "Set effect latency" button to set the latency of the
external synthesizer to ASIO buffer size.
