Working with Effects
You can add effects to a track, bus, or output in a project and then adjust the effect
parameters to control the way in which the effects alter the sound of the track or project.
Working in the Effects Tab
The Effects tab is where you add effects and adjust effect parameters. When you click
the Effects button in the header of a track, bus, or output, the Effects tab becomes
active and displays the current effects settings for the track, bus, or output.
The upper part of the Effects tab contains lists of available effect categories. When you
click an item in the Category list, the available effects in that category appear in the
Effect list, where you can select and add them to the current effects chain.
The lower part of the Effects tab shows the effects and sends in the current effects
chain. You can show and edit effect and send parameters in the Effect Parameters area.
Adding Effects
You can add effects in the Effects tab. You can create effects chains, which are a series of
effects in a specific order. You can reorder effects in an effects chain at any time, and
hear the results immediately.
