Surround Effects
Surround Mixing
Effect Instances
1. In the property page of an effect that’s patched into a surround bus,
click the Unlink Controls button so that it turns red.
2. Make some adjustments to the automatable parameters you want to
unlink (non-automatable parameters are not linked together). You can
select parameters on any tab. SONAR will automatically capture which
controls you change and unlink them from the corresponding controls
for the other surround channels.
3. When you’re finished adjusting parameters, click the Unlink Controls
button again so that it’s not red.
Now you can adjust the parameters you adjusted, without automatically
adjusting the same parameters that are on other tabs of the effect’s
property page. As long as the Unlink Controls button is not red, all other
controls will remain linked.
A list of the parameters that you unlinked appears in the Unlinked Controls
field on the SurroundBridge tab, with the instance number listed in the Plug-
in # column of the Unlinked Controls field.
If you unlinked some but not all of an instance’s parameters, the instance’s
checkbox in the Controls Linked to Group column appears grey, with a
check.
To view a list of the automatable parameters in a particular effect, uncheck
one of the Controls Linked to Group checkboxes on the SurroundBridge
tab, and read the list in the Unlinked Controls field.
To Relink Individual Effect Parameters to Other Effect
Instances
1. In the Unlinked Controls field on the SurroundBridge tab, select the
parameters you want to relink—if the parameters you want to select are
adjacent, you can Shift-click the first and last ones in the group. If
they’re not adjacent, you can Ctrl-click them individually.
2. Click the Relink Controls button.
The parameters you relinked are removed from the list.
To Unlink All of an Instance’s Parameters from Other
Instances
1. In the property page of an effect that’s patched into a surround bus,
click the SurroundBridge tab.
2. Find the instance you want to unlink in the Plug-in # column, and
uncheck its Controls Linked to Group checkbox.
