Using AudioSuite Plug-Ins in Stereo
You can use some AudioSuite plug-ins on either mono or stereo tracks.
To use AudioSuite plug-ins in stereo, be aware of the following:
• To process a mono track and obtain a stereo result, select the desired track or mark an In
point and Out point, then either select an empty track or add an new one. When you
process the audio, the result will be two tracks or regions that represent the right and left
channels of the processed audio. You should then pan these tracks hard right and hard
left in your mix.
• If you work with mono tracks and set a plug-in to Stereo mode, then select an odd
number of tracks for processing, the plug-in processes the selected tracks in pairs to
create the stereo effect. However, the last odd, unpaired track will be processed as mono,
using the left channel settings of the stereo plug-in. If you want the last track to be
processed in stereo, you must select an additional track to pair it with — an empty one,
if necessary.
