System information
When effects are bypassed, you can choose whether bypassed effects remain open. When the Keep
bypassed FX running check box on the General tab of the Preferences dialog is selected, effects
remain open so you can bypass/enable effects with no pause for A/B testing. When the check box is
cleared, effects are fully bypassed, conserving processing power.
Editing Audio Plug-Ins
Audio plug-in settings are displayed when you click the button on a track, bus, or assignable FX control.
Use the effects window to enable/bypass effects, edit effect parameters, add/remove DirectX and VST
effects from tracks, busses, and assignable FX chains, edit effect parameters, and configure effects
automation.
If no effects have been added to a track or bus, the button is displayed in gray . Click the button to
display the Plug-In Chooser, where you can select the plug-ins you want to use.
Tips:
n To move faders and sliders in fine increments, hold Ctrl while dragging the control.
n Double-click the title bar of the audio effects window to resize the window for the current plug-
in.
Enabling or bypassing effects
Select the check box for each plug-in you want to apply or clear a check box to bypass an effect without
removing it from the chain.
The effect of plug-ins on a chain is cumulative, so you may need to rearrange the plug-ins so that one
plug-in's processing does not adversely affect other plug-ins in the chain. To reorder the plug-ins
within the chain, drag a plug-in button to a new location.
You can bypass or enable all plug-ins by right-clicking the button in the track list and choosing
Enable All or Bypass All from the shortcut menu.
Editing effect parameters
Click the plug-in's button to select it, and use the bottom half of the window to adjust the effect's
parameters. For more information about using specific plug-ins, click the Plug-In Help button .
