Bypassing Insert Effects
If you want to listen to the track without having it processed by a particular effect, but do not
want to remove this effect completely from the insert slot, you can bypass it. A bypassed effect is
still processing in the background. This allows for crackle-free comparison of the original with the
processed signal.
PREREQUISITE
You have added an insert effect to an audio channel.
PROCEDURE
1.
In the track list, select the audio track with the insert effect that you want to bypass.
2.
In the Inspector, open the Inserts section, and click Bypass Insert.
RESULT
The effect is bypassed but still processing in the background.
Removing Insert Effects
PROCEDURE
1. In the track list, select the audio track with the insert effect that you want to remove.
2. In the Inspector, open the Inserts section.
3. On the effect that you want to remove, click Select Insert.
4. In the effect selector, select No Effect.
RESULT
The insert effect is removed from the audio channel.
Freezing Insert Effects
Freezing an audio track and its insert effects allows you to reduce processor power. However,
frozen tracks are locked for editing. You cannot edit, remove, or add insert effects for the frozen
track.
PREREQUISITE
You have made all settings for the track and you are sure that you do not need to edit it
anymore.
PROCEDURE
1.
In the Inspector for the audio track that you want to freeze, click Freeze Audio Channel.
