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.
AudioSuite Plug-in Limitations
The following limitations apply to the AudioSuite plug-ins:
• Avid does not support some plug-ins that perform analysis passes on the audio data. This
includes plug-ins that use playlist information to cache analysis data.
• If you want to use plug-ins that change the length of an audio clip or that operate on multiple
inputs at the same time, use the method described in “Creating New Master Clips with
AudioSuite Plug-Ins” on page 929. Applying an effect to a clip in the Timeline does not
work for these operations.
Troubleshooting AudioSuite Plug-Ins
You might need to respond to an error message or cancel a render operation when rendering
AudioSuite plug-ins. If the DAE is not running when you start to render an AudioSuite plug-in
effect, the system displays an error message stating that the DAE connection does not exist.
To respond to error messages:
1. Do one of the following:
t Select Cancel to stop the rendering process. This lets you open the AudioSuite tool and
then start rendering again.
t Select Bypass to continue the rendering process. The plug-in effect does not render.
