Process Mode Selector

If you have made a selection that includes mul-
tiple regions, this pop-up menu lets you specify
whether AudioSuite processing is performed on
a region-by-region, or entire-selection basis.

Region by Region

Analyzes each region in a se-

lection individually, rather than over the entire
multi-region selection as a whole.

Entire Selection

Uses the entire selection for

analysis. All regions will be analyzed and pro-
cessed relative to the entire selection.

AudioSuite Plug-in Preset Controls

Most AudioSuite plug-ins let you load and save
presets (plug-in settings files). However, some
AudioSuite plug-ins, such as DC Offset Removal
or Duplicate, do not provide Preset controls
since they have no parameter controls.

Plug-in Selector

Lets you select any AudioSuite

plug-in installed on your system.

Plug-in Settings Menu

Lets you copy, paste, save,

and import plug-in presets.

Plug-in Librarian Menu

Recalls settings files (pre-

sets) saved in the plug-in’s root settings folder or
in the current session’s Settings folder.

Next (+) and Previous (–) Setting Buttons

Lets

you select the next or previous plug-in setting
from the Plug-in Librarian menu.

Plug-ins Settings Select Button

Accesses the

Plug-in Settings dialog, which lists the presets
for the current plug-in. From this list, you can
select a new preset, or audition a series of pre-
sets.

Compare

Toggles between the original saved

plug-in preset and any changes you have made
to it so you can compare them.

Other AudioSuite Controls

In addition to the standard AudioSuite controls
that are common to all AudioSuite plug-ins,
there are a number of special-purpose controls
found only on certain plug-ins:

Chan/Track Process Mode Selector

If you have made a selection that includes re-
gions from multiple tracks, the Normalize
AudioSuite plug-in (as well as some third-party
AudioSuite plug-ins) lets you choose whether
you want to perform processing on a channel-
by-channel/track-by-track, or an all-channel/all-
tracks basis using the Chan/Track Process Mode
selector.
