System information
b.  Click the Output  button and choose the output where you want to send your processed 
signal.  We’ll send this signal to the master bus so it is included with your main  mix and will 
be included when performing a real-time  render.
This input bus provides a signal path from your  effects processor's output to your project.
6.  Send your track to the effects  processor:
Click the bus button on the track header and choose the bus you created  in step 2.
The bus button on the track header lets you  send the track's audio to your effects processor.
7.  Click Play   .
When you play your project, the track is sent to your auxiliary bus,  into the effects processor, out of 
the effects processor into the input  bus, and out to the master bus.
8.  When you're ready to render your project,  you can use real-time rendering  to include the output 
from your effects processor with your project.
For more information, see "Real-Time Rendering" on page 344.
Real-Time Rendering
From the File menu, choose Real-Time  Render to render your project in real time.
Real-time rendering is a playback mode that renders your project to  .wav format. Real-time rendering 
allows you to include the output from  an external input source such as  an effects processor with  your 
project. 
For more information, see "Using Input Busses" on page 338 and "Using Input Busses with Hardware-Based 
Effects" on page 342.
