To directly insert an EQ into a channel strip:

mAs the Inst 2 track is already selected, simply double-click the EQ panel at the top of the left Arrange channel strip.

A Channel EQ is automatically inserted into the top Insert slot (or the first available Insert slot if the top one is already used, which it would be if you’ve followed the steps above).

The effects are chained, from the top Insert slot to the bottom.

Tip: Typically, audio is EQ-ed before being processed with other effects, but there are no “absolutes” when it comes to achieving the sound you’re after.

To replace an inserted plug-in (effect or instrument):

mClick on the desired slot, and choose a different type of plug-in from the menu.

If the plug-in window is open, it will update to reflect the newly selected plug-in. If not open, a new plug-in window is launched.

To remove an inserted plug-in (effect or instrument):

mClick on the desired slot, and choose “No Plug-in” from the menu.

You can also bypass a plug-in. This leaves it in the insert or instrument slot, but the signal is routed “around” the plug-in.

To bypass an inserted plug-in (effect or instrument), either:

mClick on the Bypass button at the top left of the plug-in window header.
