Bypassing Realtime Effects
You can turn off an effect in the Effects tab, which “bypasses” the effect in the effects
chain. When you bypass an effect, the effect is not heard, but all effect parameters are
retained. To hear the effect again, reselect the effect’s checkbox. This lets you hear how
each effect in a chain alters the sound.
To bypass an effect:
m In the Effects tab, deselect the checkbox next to the effect.
Adding Sends to Tracks
You can add sends to a realtime effects chain. When you add a send, the send is
added at the end of the current effects chain. You can move the send to another place
in the effects chain, choose the bus for a send, adjust send volume and pan, and
bypass a send. For more general information about sends and busses, see “
Using Sends
and Busses ” on page 270.
To add a send to a track, do one of the following:
m Control-click the track in the Timeline or the Mixer, then choose Add Send from the
shortcut menu.
m In the Effects tab, click the Add Send button.
A send appears below the last effect in the track’s effects chain. You can assign the
send to a bus in the Effects tab or the Mixer.
Deselect the checkbox
next to the effect name
to bypass the effect.
