Adding Effects

Each Real and Software Instrument track has a set of effects, which include a
compressor, equalizer (EQ), echo, and reverb. You can adjust a track's effects, and add
up to two additional effects, in the Track Info pane. Real Instrument tracks also include
a noise gate effect.

The master track includes its own effects. You can adjust the master effects and add
one additional effect to the master track in the Track Info pane.

To add an effect:

1

Click the Track Info button (the letter “i”) or choose Track > Show Track Info to show the
Track Info pane.

2

If needed, click the Details triangle to show the Effects section of the window.

3

Choose the effect you want to add from one of the pop-up menus along the left.
Instrument tracks have two effect pop-up menus, and the master track has one.

Use these controls to
add and adjust effects.
