DigiRack Plug-Ins Guide28
Multichannel Processing
Most DigiRack AudioSuite plug-ins can process
up to 48 channels of audio simultaneously.
Undoing AudioSuite Processing
If you have processed an audio selection nonde-
structively, the Undo and Redo commands let
you undo the selected AudioSuite process. You
can undo or redo an AudioSuite process during
audio playback.
Auto-File Naming of AudioSuite-
Processed Audio
When new audio files are created as a result of
AudioSuite processing, Pro Tools will auto-name
these files according to the type of plug-in used.
The name of the region determines the prefix,
while the type of AudioSuite plug-in determines
the suffix.
Auto file-naming follows these rules:
◆ New regions are named beginning with the
region name, followed by an abbreviation of the
current AudioSuite process, followed by stan-
dard Pro Tools file and region numbering.
◆ If a plug-in’s File Mode pop-up is set to Over-
write, the original region’s name will not be
changed.
◆ If a plug-in’s File Mode pop-up is set to Create
Individual Files, the resulting regions will have
an abbreviated version of the plug-in name ap-
pended to them.
Other AudioSuite Controls
In addition to the standard AudioSuite controls,
there are a number of special-purpose controls
found on certain plug-ins:
Plug-In Librarian and Settings Menus The Set-
tings and Librarian pop-up menus that appear
in some AudioSuite plug-ins provide a means of
saving, loading, copying, pasting and organiz-
ing custom plug-in settings files. See “Using the
Librarian” on page 20.
Analyze Button Analyzes a selection without ac-
tually processing it. On the DigiRack Gain plug-
in, you can use the Analyze feature to determine
the maximum peak level on a track at a specific
gain value before you process the audio.
Side-chain Input Selector Selects a track/bus to
be used to trigger processing. In order to use this
feature, the key input source audio must occur
at the same time as the target audio. Side-chain
input is monophonic. See “Using a Key Input
for Side-Chain Processing” on page 16.
When processing multiple regions of differ-
ent formats (mono and multichannel sur-
round, for example), all channels will be
processed according to the channel format
of the AudioSuite plug-in. Mono AudioSuite
plug-ins can process stereo regions and ste-
reo AudioSuite plug-ins can process mono
regions.
Undo is not available when a plug-in is con-
figured for destructive editing since the pro-
cess has already overwritten the source au-
dio file.
Side-chain inputs for plug-ins have no effect
on AudioSuite processes when the Selection
Reference is set to Region List.
