Adjusting Effect Parameters

Once you’ve added an effect, you can adjust the effect parameters to change the way

the effect alters the sound of the track, bus, or output. Each type of effect has its own

parameters, as discussed earlier. Effect parameters are displayed in the Effect

Parameters area of the Effects tab as a set of sliders, checkboxes, and pop-up menus.

To adjust effect parameters:

1 Click the disclosure triangle next to the effect in the Effect Parameters area to display

its parameters.

2 Adjust the effect parameter by dragging the slider, selecting the checkbox, or choosing

an item from the pop-up menu. You can also adjust the parameter by entering a valid

value in the field to the right of the parameter’s control.

Chaining and Reordering Effects

You can add more than one effect to a track, bus, or output. Adding multiple effects to

an effects chain is called chaining effects.

When you add multiple effects, the effects are applied in sequence, meaning that the

output of the first effect becomes the input for the next effect, and so on, for each

effect in the chain. The order in which effects are applied is important, because each

alters the input signal, which includes the output of previous effects in the chain. You

can reorder effects and hear the difference in the way they alter the sound.

Adjust a parameter by

dragging its slider.

You can also adjust the

parameter by entering a

value in the field.

Click the disclosure

triangle to display the

effect’s parameters.
