Parallel Channels
A very flexible way of working with insert effects is to use parallel channels that host the effects, while keeping the
dry signal of the source channel intact. This way you can freely control the levels of the dry signal and the separate
effects - and also control the sound of each effect individually from each of the parallel channels.
You could, for example, have one parallel channel with a compressed distortion effect, another parallel channel with
a Delay, and so on. Then, you can freely EQ the effects in each of the parallel channels, as well as control their levels
individually from each Fader.
Creating Parallel Channels
Parallel channels can be created as follows:
1. Select the source Mix/Audio Track channel strip in the Main Mixer, or its device in the rack.
2. Select “Create Parallel Channel” from the Edit menu or context menu.
A new Mix Channel is created and placed to the right of your original channel in the Main Mixer:
A Parallel Channel created for Audio Track 1.
The parallel Mix Channel is automatically named “P1: <source channel name>” and its channel header is colored
according to the source mixer channel header. Both the source channel and the parallel channel also get shorter
channel headers to indicate they are routed in a parallel configuration.
