Changing the Order of Effects
Changing the order of effects can radically change the sound of the region or mix being
processed. Feeding a region through a reverb → chorus → delay chain delivers very
different tonal results to feeding the same region through a delay → chorus → reverb,
even when identical settings are used for all three effects. This difference in tone is due
to particular frequencies in your region being emphasized/de-emphasized by each effect,
and then magnified or suppressed, by the ensuing processes.
To change the effects order in the Plug-Ins lists
µ
Drag the effect name up or down to the desired list position.
You can save chains of effects that you have set up in the Plug-Ins list window. You can
also load previously saved effect chains.
To save an effects chain
1 Click the Plug-in Chain pop-up menu in either Plug-Ins list, and choose Save Plug-in Chain.
