Audio Effects
• Load the project “Mixing 6” found in the “Sequel Tutorial 3” folder.
You will now add some effects to the project. In Sequel, there are three types of
effects:
- Insert effects
- Send effects
- Output effects
For details on each effect and its parameters, see the chapter “Effects and
Instruments Reference” on page 119.
You can also add effects to instrument parts. This is described in the section “Panels
for Instrument Tracks” on page 83.
Insert Effects
Insert effects are inserted into the signal flow. To set up an inset effect, proceed as
follows:
1. Select the Bass track.
2. Open the Track Inspector Page, and make sure that the Insert FX 1 panel is visible.
3. Begin playback and cycle (or loop) a section of music.
• Use the Compressor effect to smooth out the Bass track.
4. Adjust the Threshold slider until the bass sounds smoother and the difference
between the notes that were played quieter versus the notes that were played a
little louder gets smaller.
5. Raise the Channel Level setting to compensate for the reduction in gain that the
compression has caused on the Bass track.
