Effects parameters
Each effect in an effects patch point has its own independent set of parameter values. For example,
you can apply a short reverb in one track and a long reverb in another track. The dialog boxes for
real-time effects contain the same parameters as the offline effects, though there are a few
differences:
• You can adjust the parameters while playback is in progress, so there is no need for an Audition
button.
• For audio effects, because mixing is handled through the Track view or Console view, there is no
Mixing tab.
• You do not need to click OK for the effect to be applied.
Refer to the sections “MIDI effects (MIDI plug-ins)” on page 749 and “Audio effects (audio plug-ins)”
on page 797 for descriptions of the effects and their parameters.
How to use real-time effects
You can patch effects into tracks and buses in the Track view, Track Inspector and Console view.
After you patch one or more effects into an effects bin, you can reorder the effects, delete them, or
add new ones.
