▪ If you created a nice effect setting, you can put it to further use by saving it as a Plug-in
preset in the software. Please read ↑6.1.9, Saving and Recalling Plug-in Presets for more
details.
11.1.2 Other Operations on Effects
You can manipulate effects like any other Plug-in loaded in a Plug-in slot. This notably in-
cludes adjusting the effect parameters, removing effects, moving effects to other Plug-in slots,
saving and recalling effect presets, etc.
Here we provide a reminder of every operation available on the effects both in Arrange view
and Mix view.
Concerning the procedures listed below, the only difference between Arrange view and Mix
view is the way to open the Plug-in menu: In Arrange view you open it by clicking the Plug-
in slot’s down-pointing arrow, whereas in Mix view you open it by right-clicking ([Ctrl]-click-
ing on Mac OS X) the effect name in the Plug-in List.
Action Procedure
All Effects
Insert an effect after an existing
Plug-in
From the Browser or from your operating system, drag and drop the de-
sired effect preset between two existing Plug-in slots.
Replace an effect Open the Plug-in menu, and select another effect from the menu.
Remove an effect Open the Plug-in menu, and select None from the menu.
Move an effect within the Plug-in
List
Click and hold the effect in the Plug-in List, drag your mouse to the de-
sired location (an insertion line appears where the effect will be drop-
ped), and release the mouse button.
Move an effect to another channel
(Sound, Group, or Master)
First, open the source slot’s Plug-in menu and select Cut. Then open the
Plug-in menu of the desired slot in the target channel (Sound, Group, or
Master) and select Paste.
Duplicate an effect First, open the source slot’s Plug-in menu and select Copy. Then open
the Plug-in menu of the desired slot in the target channel (Sound,
Group, or Master) and select Paste.
Bypass an effect Click the FX icon (in Arrange view) or the little square (in Mix view) at
the left of the effect name in the Plug-in List. Click again to re-enable
the effect.
