Removing an Assignable Effects Chain
When you remove an assignable effects chain, it is deleted from the project. You must recreate the chain if
you want to use it again. If you want to keep the chain, but do not want to use it in your current project,
you may save the chain as a preset. For more information, see "Creating and Using Effects Packages" on
page 310.
To bypass an assignable effects chain without removing it from the project, select the Mute button
in the Assignable FX Control.
1. In the Mixing Console window, select the assignable effects chain you want to remove (to select
multiple chains, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting).
2. Right-click a selected chain and choose Delete from the shortcut menu (or press Delete). The
effects chains are removed from your project.
Creating and Using Effects Packages
An effects package allows you to quickly recall frequently used chains of effects. FX packages retain their
chain order and individual plug-in settings.
For more information, see "Adding audio track effects" on page 301,"Using Bus Effects" on page 304, and
"Using Assignable Effects" on page 306.

Bypassing All Audio Effects
From the Options menu, choose Bypass All Audio FX to omit all audio effects (track, bus, and assignable
effects) during playback.
Bypassing effects allows you to quickly compare your project with and without effects and conserve
processing power to avoid playback problems.
