Chapter 37: AudioSuite Processing
This chapter explains the use of AudioSuite
plug-ins in Pro Tools. AudioSuite plug-ins are
used to process and modify audio files on disk.
AudioSuite processing applies non-real-time, or
rendered, audio processing to selected audio re-
gions in your Pro Tools session. Depending on
how you configure an AudioSuite plug-in, it will
either alter the original source audio file or cre-
ate an entirely new audio source file.
TDM and RTAS plug-ins process audio playing
back or through a track. These plug-ins are non-
destructive and real time. For information on
using real-time plug-ins (as well as hardware in-
serts) on tracks, see Chapter 41, “Plug-in and
Hardware Inserts.”
The AudioSuite Menu
AudioSuite plug-ins are accessed through the
AudioSuite menu. Plug-ins can be organized in
the AudioSuite menu in Pro Tools by Flat List
(with plug-ins in alphabetical order), Category,
Manufacturer, or Category and Manufacturer.
To open the AudioSuite Plug-in window:
1 Make an Edit selection that includes the audio
region, or regions, you want to process.
2 From the AudioSuite menu, select the Plug-in
you want.
For information on individual AudioSuite
plug-ins included with Pro Tools, see the
DigiRack Plug-ins Guide.
For more information, see “Plug-in Menu
Organization” on page 877.
