Menu reference

Process > Apply Effect > Audio Effects

The Process > Apply Effect > Audio Effects command (which is greyed-out if you’re not currently

using any audio effects) opens the Apply Audio Effects dialog box. Applying an audio effect means

that the audio data that you apply the effect to is permanently altered to sound like it would if it was

flowing through an effects processor in real time. Applying an effect saves a lot of your processor’s

power for other tasks that must be done in real time.

Clicking OK in this dialog box applies any audio effects that are patched into track inserts. but does

not apply effects that are patched into a bus. You can also check the Delete the effects from the

track inserts check box to remove the real-time effects from the track inserts after you apply them,

so the audio data does not receive a double dose of the same effects.

See:

“Real-time audio effects processing” on page 797

Process > Apply Effect > MIDI Effects

The Process > Apply Effect > MIDI Effects command opens the Apply MIDI Effects dialog box,

which allows you to apply any MIDI effects that are patched into a track to all selected data in that

track. Applying a MIDI effect means that the MIDI data that you apply the effect to is permanently

altered to sound like it would if it was flowing through an effects processor in real time. You can leave

the Delete the effects from the track inserts check box checked to remove the real-time MIDI

effects from the track inserts after you apply them, so the track data does not receive a double dose

of the same effects.

See:

“Applying MIDI effects” on page 913

“MIDI effects (MIDI plug-ins)” on page 749

Process > Apply Effect > Remove Silence

The Process > Apply Effect > Remove Silence command detects sections of audio that fall below

a given loudness threshold, and replaces those sections with absolute silence.
