Master Section
Master Section Window
output level is automatically reduced by -6 dB to avoid clipping. The Mix to Mono option is useful
for checking the mono compatibility of stereo mixes, etc.
NOTE
If Mix to Mono is activated, the indicator for the Master Level pane is lit, even if the master level
is not adjusted. This helps you avoid accidentally leaving Mix to Mono activated.
Unlink Faders
Determines whether you can adjust the faders individually or together.
If Unlink Faders is deactivated, moving one fader also moves the other by the same amount.
Activating Unlink Faders allows you to correct improper stereo balancing by adjusting the level
of the channels individually.
If you offset the faders with Unlink Faders activated and then deactivate Unlink Faders, you can
adjust the overall level without changing the level offset between the channels.
Fader offsets are not preserved at the end of the range of movement or once the mouse button
is released.
Final Effect/Dithering Pane
This pane in the Master Section allows you to add a final effect and dithering to the signal
before it is sent to the audio hardware or saved as a file on disk.
Fold/Unfold Pane
Expands or collapses the pane.
Bypass All Effects
Bypasses the effects in the Final Effect/Dithering pane.
Presets pop-up menu
Lets you save and recall preset settings. The Presets pop-up menu offers additional
options to save and load default banks and effects.
Effect Options pop-up menu
Allows you to load another effect to the effect slot. Furthermore, the following
options are available:
● Remove Plug-in removes the effect from the slot.
● Shift All Plug-ins Down/Shift All Plug-ins Up allows you to move the effects
to another position.
● If Active is activated, the effect is active. If Active is deactivated, the effect is
excluded from playback and rendering.
Bypass Processing
Bypasses the plug-in during playback and optionally during rendering. The signal is
still processed by the plug-in, but is not injected in the audible stream.
