Applying MIDI Effects
To Apply Multiple Audio Effects Offline
1. Add one or more audio effects to one or more tracks in either the Track
view or the Console view.
2. In the Track view, select the tracks or clips you want to be affected.
3. Select Process-Apply Audio Effects.
The Apply Audio Effects dialog appears.
4. If desired, select the option to delete the effects after applying them.
5. Click OK.
If you do not delete the effects after applying them, they remain active.
CPU Usage of Audio Effects
The number of real-time audio effects that your computer can handle
depends on the number of audio tracks in your project, the number and
type of effects you want to use, and the type and speed of your CPU.
Certain effects are more CPU-intensive than others, and enabling certain
settings (such as using equalization within the Stereo Reverb) increases
CPU usage for those effects.
Applying MIDI Effects
You can destructively apply the MIDI effects in a track’s patch point. This
makes it easy for you to experiment with MIDI effects before you commit to
them on a more permanent basis.
To Apply MIDI Effects Destructively
1. In the Track view, select the tracks or clips to be affected.
2. Select Process-Apply MIDI Effects.
3. If desired, select the option to delete the effects after applying them.
4. Click OK.
If you don’t delete effects after applying them, they continue to be active
during playback, even though they have already been applied.
Using Control Groups
SONAR lets you link faders, knobs, or buttons in the Track and Console
views into groups. Groups are collections of controls whose movements
are linked together. For example:
