Bypassing 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.
To bypass all effects for a track:
m Select the track, Control-click the track’s header, then choose Bypass Effects from the
shortcut menu that appears.
Adding Sends to Tracks
You can add sends to an effects chain in order to create submixes. Routing audio from
multiple tracks to a bus using a send lets you apply the same effects to all the tracks.
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.
To add a send to a track:
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.
Deselect the checkbox
next to the effect name
to bypass the effect.
