4.Click the Preview button to test out the effect. Adjust the settings as needed and click Stop to end the preview.

Tips:

•If the selection you made in the data window needs to be adjusted, click the Selection button to adjust the selection.

•When using the Event tool ( ), click the Go to Previous Event () and Go to Next Event () buttons to navigate to the events you selected and preview and modify the effect for each event.

5.Click OK. During processing, a progress meter is displayed at the bottom of the data window. You can cancel the operation at any time by clicking the Cancel button to the left of the progress meter, or you can press the Escape key.

Saving effect settings as a custom preset

After you have adjusted the parameters in the effect dialog, you may want to save your settings as a custom preset for later use. You can select the preset from the Preset drop-down list to apply the same settings at a later time.

1.Adjust the parameters in the effect dialog to achieve the effect you want.

2.Click the Save Preset button (). The Save Preset dialog is displayed.

3.Enter a new preset name and click OK. The new preset is added to the Preset drop-down list.

Using the Plug-In Chainer

The Plug-In Chainer allows you to create a chain of 32 DirectX® and VST plug-ins. You can preview each plug-in in the chain simultaneously in real time as long as your computer has adequate processing power.

You can switch between the Plug-In Chainer window and data windows without leaving the Plug-In Chainer. This means you can change your selection in the data window or even switch to another data window—all without closing the Plug-In Chainer window.

Because the Plug-In Chainer offers these advanced features, you may want to use the chainer to create a single-effect chain instead of applying an effect from the Effects or FX Favorites menu. For more information, see Adding effects on page 195.

Note: The Process Selection button () in the Plug-In Chainer window is not available when the Event Tool () is selected.
