Process
Clicking this button begins AudioSuite processing
of the selected audio. Processing can occur
during playback (though it may take slightly
longer). Processed files are auto-named with the
region or audio file’s name plus an acronym for
the chosen AudioSuite process.
New files are written to the hard disk specified
for that track in the Disk Allocation dialog, or to
the same drive as the original file if the region is
not currently on a track. See “Auto-File Naming
of AudioSuite-Processed Audio” on page 21.
Multi-channel Processing
DigiRack AudioSuite plug-ins allow up to 48
channels of audio to be processed simultaneously.
Undoing AudioSuite Processing
If you have processed an audio selection nondestructively,
the Undo and Redo commands allow
you to undo the selected AudioSuite process.
You can undo/redo an AudioSuite process
during audio playback.
Undo is not available when a plug-in is configured
for destructive editing since the process
has already overwritten the source audio
file.
Auto-File Naming of AudioSuite-
Processed Audio
When new audio files are created as a result of
AudioSuite processing, Pro Tools will auto-name
these files according to the type of plug-in used.
The name of the region determines the prefix,
while the type of AudioSuite plug-in determines
the suffix.
Auto file-naming follows these rules:
◆ New regions are named beginning with the
region name, followed by an abbreviation of the
current AudioSuite process, followed by standard
Pro Tools file and region numbering.
◆ If a plug-in’s File Mode pop-up is set to Overwrite,
the original region’s name will not be
changed.
◆ If a plug-in’s File Mode pop-up is set to Create
Individual Files, the resulting regions will have
an abbreviated version of the plug-in name appended
to them.
Other AudioSuite Parameters
In addition to the standard AudioSuite parameters,
there are a number of special-purpose controls
found on certain plug-ins:
Plug-In Librarian/Settings Menus The Settings
and Librarian pop-up menus that appear in
some AudioSuite plug-ins provide a means of
saving, loading, copying, pasting and organizing
custom plug-in settings files. See “Using the
Librarian” on page 13.
Analyze Button Analyzes a selection without actually
processing it. On the DigiRack Gain plugin,
the Analyze feature allows you to determine
the maximum peak level on a track at a specific
gain value before you process the audio.
Side Chain Input Selector Selects a track/bus to
be used to trigger processing. In order to use this
feature, the key input source audio must occur
at the same time as the target audio. Side chain
input is monophonic. See “Using a Key Input
for Side Chain Processing” on page 11.
