Changing the Plug-in Order

Changing the order of plug-ins can radically change the sound of the region or mix
being processed. Feeding a region through a reverb → chorus → delay chain delivers
very different tonal results to feeding the same region through a delay → chorus →
reverb, even when identical settings are used for all three effects. This difference in tone
is due to particular frequencies in your region being emphasized/de-emphasized by
each effect, and then magnified or suppressed, by the ensuing processes.

To change the plug-in order in the Plug-In lists:

m

Click-hold on the plug-in name, and drag it up or down to the desired position.

Using Plug-in Chains
You can save plug-in chains that you have set up in the Plug-In lists. You can also load
previously saved plug-in chains. Simply select the appropriate function from the Plug-
In Chain menu, beside the Add Plug-In menu.

Using the Level Meter

You can monitor the audio output levels of your projects with the Level Meter. As a
project plays back, the levels in each stereo channel change constantly. The Level Meter
shows these changes as blue bars that run from left to right; the farther right, the
higher the level for that channel. Momentary peaks are shown as thin yellow bars in
each channel.

The bars in the Level Meter turn red past the 0 dB mark, acting as clipping indicators.

You can check your project for clipping.

To check a project for clipping:

m

Choose Disc > Check Disc for Clipping.
