4. Connection and Setup
4.1 Inserting the NONLIN2 NATIVE plug-in into
your DAW project
Once you have downloaded the plug-in, you can now apply it to a channel in your
DAW to begin using the eect. This process may vary slightly depending on your
software, but generally should require these steps:
• Select a channel or bus in your DAW to which you would like to add the eect.
Access the mixer page where you should see a section dedicated to eect slots.
• Open the menu where you can select from a list of eect types, which
probably includes many stock plug-ins that are included with the DAW.
There should be submenu to view general VST/AU/AAX options.
• The plug-in will likely be found in a dedicated TC Electronic folder. Select the
NONLIN2 NATIVE and it will now be added to the signal chain.
Double click on the eect slot that contains NONLIN2 NATIVE to view the plug-in
UI.
4.2 Operating the NONLIN2 NATIVE
After you have installed the plug-in, and activated the iLok license, you can begin
working with the plug-in on your tracks.
Adjustments to the eect are done using the plug-in user interface:
Most DAWs oer the ability to move or drag plug-ins from one track/bus to
another, and NONLIN2 NATIVE supports this as well.
Most DAWs also feature an on/o switch for plug-ins, accessible inside the plug-in
window and/or the track itself.
4.2.1 Insert vs Aux Eect
The NONLIN2 NATIVE can be used as an insert directly on a channel, sub mix bus
or master bus, or as a send/return eect on an auxiliary bus.
When using the send/return method, make sure to remove the dry signal by
turning the Dry Gain all the way to OFF. Note that all of the factory presets are
made for the insert case, so we recommend using the lock button on the Dry Gain
parameter to avoid adding the Dry signal when loading presets.
4.2.2 Mono/Stereo Operation
In the case of a mono out instance, the output signal is made by outputting the
left plug-in channel only. In this case, panning should not be used.
For a mono-to-mono instance, the Width parameter will not change the signal.
4.2.3 Bypass
Press the BYPASS button at the top to bypass or engage the NONLIN2 NATIVE.
4.2.4 Automation
Please be aware that automation of certain parameters, can cause audible
artifacts.
In case you need to automate these parameters, you should take care that
changes only take place in parts where no audio is sent to the plug-in.
