Audio effects
• If the effect has a Dry/Wet Mix parameter you can use
this to adjust the balance between the dry signal and the
effect signal.
See “Making settings for the effects” on page 12 for details about editing
effects.
• When one or several insert effects are activated for a
channel, the insert effects buttons light up in blue in the
mixer, the Inspector and the Track list. Click the button for
a channel to bypass (disable) all its inserts.
When the inserts are bypassed, the buttons are yellow. Click the button
again to enable the inserts. Note that the bypass button is also available
in the Inspector and the Channel settings window for the audio track.
• To remove an effect, pull down the effect type pop-up
menu and select “No Effect”.
You should do this for all effects that you don’t intend to use, to minimize
unnecessary CPU load.
• When you have several insert effects for a channel, you
can bypass separate effects by clicking the bypass button
of the respective slot.
When an effect is bypassed, the button is yellow.
The “PingPongDelay” insert effect slot is bypassed.
Insert effects in the channel overview
If the “Channel” section is selected in the Inspector, you will
get an overview of which EQ modules, insert effects and ef-
fect sends are activated for the channel.
You can activate or deactivate individual insert effect slots
by clicking the corresponding number (in the upper part of
the overview).

About adding insert effects to busses
As already stated, output busses have eight insert slots,
just like regular audio channels. The procedures for add-
ing insert effects are the same (except you cannot use the
Inspector here).
• Insert effects added to an output bus will affect all audio
routed to that bus, like a “master insert effect”.
Typically you would add compressors, limiters, EQ or other plug-ins to
tailor the dynamics and sound of the final mix.
