Insert effects
The effect is loaded and automatically activated and its control panel opens. You can
open the control panel for a loaded effect by double-clicking in the middle of the insert
slot.
• If the effect has a dry/wet Mix parameter, you can use this to adjust the balance
between the dry signal and the effect signal.
• To remove an effect, open the pop-up selector and select “No Effect”.
• You can add up to 8 insert effects per channel this way.
• You can reorder the effects by clicking and dragging.
• You can copy an effect into another effect slot (for the same channel or between
channels) by holding down [Alt]/[Option] and dragging it onto another effect slot.
• You can open all plug-ins inserted for a particular track at once by holding [Ctrl]-
[Shift]-[Alt]/[Option] and clicking the edit button for that track, either in the
Inspector or in the MixConsole. [Shift]-click the edit button to close any insert
plug-ins for the track.
Deactivating vs. bypassing
If you want to listen to the track without having it processed by a particular effect, but
do not want to remove this effect completely from the insert slot, you can either
deactivate or bypass it.
Deactivating means to terminate all processing, whereas bypassing means to play
back only the unprocessed original signal – a bypassed effect is still processing in the
background. Bypassing allows for crackle-free comparison of the original (“dry”) and
the processed (“wet”) signal.
• To bypass an effect, click the button on the left in the insert slot.
When an effect is bypassed, the slot turns gray.
• To deactivate an effect, hold [Alt]/[Option] and click its Bypass button.
• To bypass all inserts for a track, click the “Bypass Inserts” button.
This button can be found on the right of the header of the Inserts section in the
Inspector or the Channel Settings window. It lights up in yellow to indicate that
one or more inserts of this track are bypassed.
