2 Input Source Track
selectors
Let you choose the input source tracks for the effect.
The system automatically chooses a preview track and displays a blue Speaker
icon on the track. To change the preview track, Alt+click (Windows) or
Option+click (Macintosh) the appropriate source track. If the source track used
as the current preview track is deselected, the system chooses the lowest
available track.
The track selection buttons do not reflect multichannel track grouping on
master clips, so the selection buttons might differ from those in the Source
monitor.
3 Processing Mode Selection
menu
Displays the current processing mode of the AudioSuite effect on a given clip.
For more information, see “Mono, Stereo, and Multichannel Processing in
AudioSuite Plug-Ins” on page 932.
4 Target Bin for New Master
Clip menu
Lets you choose the target bin. The system places the new media and a
corresponding AudioSuite effect template in the bin. The template lets you
modify the effect at a later time.
5 Status display Provides information about the current state of the DAE (the software that
manages the AudioSuite plug-ins) and the currently applied effect. For stereo
and multichannel processing plug-ins, the Status display identifies the
maximum number of tracks that the plug-in can process. If you initially select
more than the maximum, the system automatically disables tracks until it
reaches the plug-in’s maximum number.
n
On the Macintosh, you can Command+click the status display to close
the DAE. This might reclaim a small amount of system memory,
especially if you have a large number of AudioSuite plug-ins installed.
However, when you close the DAE in this way, the Status display
changes to “Must relaunch application to reconnect to DAE,” and you
cannot start the DAE again without quitting and reopening your Avid
editing application.
6 Load Result check box When enabled, instructs the system to automatically load the resulting master
clip into the Source monitor.
7 Handle Length for End of
Master Clip (seconds) text
box
Lets you add filler at the end of a master clip. The value represents the number
of seconds to add. For example, use this feature to add filler at the end of a
master clip when you use a reverb effect to add a reverb trail to the end of the
clip. Select the value before you run the plug-in.
8 Load In Source Monitor
button
Loads the current source master clip into the Source monitor. You can use
when you want to add or change In to Out points on the clip.
9 Toggle Master Clip Mode
button
Activates the master clip processing mode. The button displays as yellow when
master clip processing mode is active.
