Audio effects
You will now learn to use some effects. You can add effects by inserting them
directly on a track or by creating an FX channel and using the auxiliary sends of
each track to send the audio to that FX channel.
Insert effects
Insert effects let you apply an effect to a single channel. In this example, you will
apply compression to a bass track to smooth it out. Proceed as follows:
1. Open the Mixer.
2. Set up a cycle using the left and right locators.
3. Make sure that the Cycle button is activated and start playback.
That way you can hear the changes you make. Cycle playback is described in the section “Cycle
playback” on page 37.
4. Select the bass track of your recording and click its “Edit Audio Channels
Settings” button.
The VST Audio Channel Settings window opens.
5. In the Inserts section, click on the first insert slot.
The effects pop-up menu opens.
