Using real-time effects
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.
• The Track view Clips > Bounce to Clip(s) command follows clip boundaries—effects tails are cut
off, unless you slip-edit the end of the clip to leave space.
• Freezing a track or synth will also freeze the per-clip effects bins.
To insert an effect on a clip
Do one of the following:
• Right-click the clip, choose Open Clip Effects Bin on the pop-up menu, then right-click the clip
effects bin and choose the desired effect.
• From the Browser, drag an effect onto the clip.
• Open the Clip Inspector and show the Clip Effects section. Right-click the effects bin to select an
effect, or drag an effect from the Browser.
The FX icon appears on the clip(s) after you insert the effect.
