Soundtoys EchoBoy - Manual (Page 16)

Now that you know how to use knobs and pop-up menus, it’s time to actually use EchoBoy
within Pro Tools. EchoBoy is available to process your audio in two different ways: Real-Time,
or Non Real-time.
Real Time Processing (TDM or RTAS)
As a real-time plug-in, EchoBoy works a lot like a real hardware echo device. Whatever sound
goes into EchoBoy, comes out with an echo on it, and you can hear it as it is happening (in real
time!).
To use EchoBoy in this way, you must first select EchoBoy as one of the insert devices within
Pro Tools, by clicking on the inserts button on a track. You can do this either from the edit or
mix window in Pro Tools. From the inserts pop up, select EchoBoy as shown in the next
graphic...
You can insert as many versions of EchoBoy as you’d like, just keep in mind that each one
gobbles up certain amount of DSP power. If you are running the RTAS version, the CPU cycles
can make your computer start to sweat in terms of what’s left over for other tasks.
