ADDING AUDIO EFFECTS CHP. 7
Using plug-in chains
A plug-in chain is a sequence of plug-ins to be applied to tracks,
busses, or assignable effects. A plug-in chain can contain one or
more plug-ins. The same plug-in can be added to a chain more than
once.
After the plug-in chain is created, the audio is processed by each
plug-in in order. The plug-ins are cumulative so, in some cases, you may want to rearrange their order to
achieve the desired effect.
Creating a plug-in chain
Audio tracks have a built-in plug-in chain with three default plug-ins applied as a default. For bus effects and
assignable effects, however, you must first create a plug-in chain.
Creating a bus effects plug-in chain
1.
Click the Bus FX button ( ) on a bus in the Mixer window. The Plug-In Chooser dialog appears.
2.
Select a plug-in and click OK. The Audio Plug-In window displays with your selected plug-in as the first in
the new plug-in chain.
3.
Adjust the settings for the plug-in to create the desired effect and click the Close button ( ) in the upper-
right corner to close the window.
Creating an assignable effects plug-in chain
1.
Click the Insert Assignable FX button ( ) on the Mixer window. The Plug-In Chooser dialog appears.
2.
Select a plug-in and click OK. The Audio Plug-In window displays with your selected plug-in as the first in
the new plug-in chain.
3.
Adjust the settings for the plug-in to create the desired effect and click the Close button ( ) in the upper-
right corner to close the window. The new assignable effect control appears in the Mixer window.
Adding plug-ins to a plug-in chain
There are two ways to add plug-ins to a chain: via the Plug-In Chooser dialog and via the Audio Plug-In
window.
Adding plug-ins via the Plug-In Chooser dialog
You can access the Plug-In Chooser dialog from the track, bus, or assignable effects chain to which you are
adding the plug-in.
