Bypassing plug-ins on the chain
You may bypass plug-ins on a plug-in chain using the Audio Plug-In window. Bypassing a plug-in prevents it from being processed on
the event. The plug-in remains bypassed until you enable it again.
1.
Click the Event FX button . The Audio Plug-In window appears.
2.
Clear the check box on the plug-in you want to bypass or right-click the plug-in and choose Bypass from the shortcut menu.
Effect enabled
Effect bypassed
To enable the plug-in again,
click its check box or choose
Bypass from the shortcut menu.
3.
Click the Close button to close the Audio Plug-In window.
Arranging the order of plug-ins
Plug-ins are cumulative during playback. Because of this cumulative effect, you may need to arrange plug-ins in a certain order so that
one plug-in’s processing does not adversely affect the next plug-in on the chain. There is no right or wrong way to order plug-ins, but
some plug-ins work better when arranged in a particular order.
1.
Click the Event FX button . The Audio Plug-In window appears.
2.
On the plug-in that you want to move, right-click to display a shortcut menu and choose Move Left or Move Right. Alternately,
drag a plug-in to a new position.
3.
Once the chain’s plug-ins are in the order that you want, click the Close button to save the new order and close the Audio Plug-
In window.
Applying effects to the Master bus
Default master effects
CD Architect software can automatically apply an effect to your project via the Master bus. This is helpful if you tend to use the same
plug-ins in your project. The original default master effect is Dither. However, you can set the default to any effect you want to use on
your entire project.
Note:
The Dither plug-in on the on the Master bus will have no effect on your audio if it is 16 bit and has not been processed by event
envelopes, volume envelopes, or effects.
