19 – 474 The Audio Montage
Adding effects to tracks and clips
The Montage supports VST effect plug-ins, both for individual clips and
for tracks. The main difference between clip and track effects is:
• Clip effects affect individual clips only.
• Track effects affect all clips on a track.
The standard WaveLab and DirectX plug-ins cannot be used as clip or
track effects in the Montage, but VST versions of several standard Wave-
Lab effects are provided, as well as several of the standard Cubase VST
effects. Each independent clip and/or audio track in the Montage can be
independently processed by up to ten VST effect plug-ins. Effects are
configured either as Inserts, when all sound is processed by the effect, or
as Send effects (“Split mode”) where the balance between the unproc-
essed sound and the effect send level can be adjusted or controlled by
effect envelope curves (clip effects only).
Only clip effects for clips that are active at the current playback position will
consume any CPU power. This does not apply to track effects, which con-
sume CPU power regardless whether any clips on the track are playing back
or not.
DirectX plug-ins from Waves Ltd. can be used as Montage effects by using
the Waves VST shell.
The first time you play a Montage after opening or cloning it, the program
has to load all effects into memory. If you have a lot of effects, this may re-
sult in a short silence before playback starts.
