System information

Adding an Assignable Effects Chain
From the Insert menu, choose Audio Assignable FX (or click the Insert Assignable FX button in the
Mixing Console toolbar) to create an effects chain to which you can route tracks in your project.
You can create up to 32 assignable effects chains in your project, and each chain can contain up to 32
effects.
To add effects quickly, you can drag plug-ins and plug-in packages from the Plug-In Manager
window to the Mixing Console window. Drop on an existing assignable effects control to add plug-ins
to the chain. For more information, see "The Plug-In Manager Window" on page 48.
When input monitoring is on during audio recording, audio effects chains that contain non-in-place
plug-ins are displayed in yellow ( ) to indicate that automatic plug-in delay compensation is being
used. Chains that cannot be used for live monitoring are automatically bypassed and are displayed in
red ( ).
