236 Chapter 10 Working With Instruments and Effects
Bypassing Plug-ins
If you want to deactivate a plug-in, but don’t want to delete it or remove it from a
channel, you can bypass it. Bypassed plug-ins do not drain system resources.
To bypass a plug-in, do one of the following:
m Click on the Bypass button at the left of the plug-in window header.
m Option-click the appropriate Insert or Instrument slot on the desired channel strip (in
the Mixer or Inspector).
The Insert slot of the bypassed plug-in turns from blue to gray, indicating that the plug-
in is currently bypassed.
Using the Settings Functions
All current plug-in parameter settings are stored with the project file, and are
automatically recalled the next time it is loaded. You can also save and recall any
changes you make to plug-in parameters. These are stored and recalled as individual
settings (or presets, if you prefer) via the Settings area.
The Settings area appears to the right of the Bypass button.
 Next and Previous Setting buttons: Click to load the previous or next plug-in setting.
 Settings field: Displays the name of the current plug-in setting. Click to access the
Settings menu.
 Compare button: Click to compare a changed plug-in setting with the setting saved
with the project.
 Copy and Paste buttons: Click to copy or paste a plug-in setting.
