Adding an FX Channel Track
PROCEDURE
1. Select Project > Add Track > FX Channel.
A dialog opens.
2. Select a channel configuration for the FX channel track.
Normally, stereo is a good choice since most effect plug-ins have stereo outputs.
3. Select an effect for the FX channel track.
4. Click Add Track.
An FX channel track is added to the track list, and the selected effect, if any, is loaded
into the first insert effect slot for the FX channel (in that case, the lit Inserts tab for the
FX channel track in the Inspector indicates that an effect has been assigned and
automatically activated).
RESULT
All FX channel tracks you create will appear in a dedicated “folder” track in the track
list. This makes it easy to manage and keep track of all your FX channel tracks, and
also allows you to save screen space by folding in the FX Channel folder.
FX channel tracks are automatically named “FX 1”, “FX 2” etc., but you can rename
them if you wish. Just double-click the name of an FX channel track in either the
track list or the Inspector and type in a new name.
