Working with AudioSuite Plug-Ins
AudioSuite plug-ins differ from TDM and RTAS
plug-ins in that they are not used non-destructively
in real time, but are instead used to process
and modify audio files on disk. Depending
on how you configure a non-real-time Audio-
Suite plug-in, it will either alter the original
source audio file or create an entirely new audio
source file.
AudioSuite plug-ins are accessed through the
AudioSuite menu.
