Mixing

Using real-time effects

You can selectively unbypass individual effects while in this global bypass state, whick makes it easy

to quickly audition a single effect within a mix.

To globally bypass all effects in a project

• Do one of the following:

• In the Control Bar’s Mix module, click the Bypass all Effects button .

• Press E.

All effects bins in the active project are temporarily bypassed. To restore the bins to their original

state, click the Bypass all Effects button again.

Figure 247. The Mix module.

To globally bypass all track, bus or clip effects

1. Determine which type of effects you want to bypass (track, bus or clip), and make sure at least

one corresponding effects bin is visible.

2. Right-click the effects bin and select Bypass Bins Of This Type from the pop-up menu.

All effects bins of the same type as the source effects bin are globally bypassed. To restore the bins

to their original state, simply toggle the state of the Bypass Bins Of This Type option.

Effects on clips

You can insert real-time effects on clips, in both MIDI and audio tracks. Each clip that you insert an

effect on displays its own effects bin, that you can use to manage the effects on that clip.

The characteristics of clip-based effects are:

• Splitting a clip copies the effect(s) onto both clips.

• You can copy or move clip-based effects from one clip to another, and to or from the effects bin on

a track.

• A clip’s effects bin also appears in the Clip Inspector.

• Audio effects can be automated by using clip envelopes.

Note: You can only globally bypass audio effects, not MIDI effects.

Note: The Bypass all Effects option is only a temporary toggle, and is not saved with the

project.
