Working with Effects in the Mixer
You can add effects to a channel strip in the Mixer, show effects settings, turn effects
on and off, replace an effect, and delete effects. You can also adjust effects settings in
the Effects tab or in the effect’s advanced settings window.
Adding Effects to a Channel Strip
You can add effects, turn effects off and on, and reorder effects in a channel strip.
Note: Before adding an effect to a track, it’s a good idea to solo the track so that you can
hear how the effect changes its sound, separate from the other tracks in the project.
To add an effect to a channel strip:
m Control-click an empty effects slot in the channel strip, choose Add Effect from the shortcut
menu, then choose one of the available effects from the categories in the submenu.
Showing Channel Strip Effects Settings
Once you add an effect, you can view and adjust its settings in the Effects tab.
To show an effect’s settings in the Effects tab:
m In the channel strip, Control-click the effect, then choose Show [effect name] Settings
from the shortcut menu.
The Effects tab becomes active, and shows the selected effect’s settings.
Some effects have a floating advanced settings window with sliders and other controls
you can use to adjust effect parameters.
