Chapter 37: AudioSuite Processing 759
Process
Clicking the Process button begins AudioSuite
processing of the selected audio. Processing can
occur during playback (though it may take
slightly longer). Processed files are auto-named
with the region or audio file’s name and include
an acronym for the chosen AudioSuite process.
New files are written to the hard disk specified
for that track in the Disk Allocation dialog, or to
the same drive as the original file if the region is
not currently on a track. See “Automatic File
Naming of AudioSuite-Processed Audio” on
page 759.
Multichannel Processing
Most DigiRack AudioSuite plug-ins can process
up to 48 channels of audio simultaneously.
Undoing AudioSuite Processing
If you have processed an audio selection nonde-
structively, the Undo and Redo commands let
you undo the selected AudioSuite process. You
can undo or redo an AudioSuite process during
audio playback.
Automatic File Naming of AudioSuite-
Processed Audio
When new audio files are created as a result of
AudioSuite processing, Pro Tools will auto-name
these files according to the type of plug-in used.
The name of the region determines the prefix,
while the type of AudioSuite plug-in determines
the suffix.
Automatic file naming follows these rules:
‹ New regions are named beginning with the re-
gion name, followed by an abbreviation of the
current AudioSuite process, followed by stan-
dard Pro Tools file and region numbering.
‹ If a plug-in’s File Mode is set to Overwrite Files,
the original region’s name will not be changed.
‹ If a plug-in’s File Mode is set to Create Individ-
ual Files , the resulting regions will have an ab-
breviated version of the plug-in name appended
to them.
When processing multiple regions of
different formats (mono and multichannel
surround, for example), all channels will be
processed according to the channel format
of the AudioSuite plug-in. Mono AudioSuite
plug-ins can process stereo regions and
stereo AudioSuite plug-ins can process
mono regions.
Undo is not available when a plug-in is
configured for destructive editing since the
process has already overwritten the source
audio file.
