Direct Offline Processing Toolbar

On the toolbar, the following options and settings are available:

Add Processes

Add Plug-in

Allows you to add a plug-in effect to the selected event or clip.

Select Preset

Allows you to select a plug-in preset.

Add Process

Allows you to add a built-in audio process to the selected event or clip.

Apply Options

Auto Apply

If this option is activated and you add or modify a plug-in effect or an audio process, it is instantly rendered into the audio and added to the process list in the left zone of the Direct Offline Processing window.

If this option is deactivated, you can make changes on the process panel without instantly rendering them. To add the plug-in effect or the audio process to the process list or to apply parameter changes of a process that you have already added, click Apply. To discard a plug-in effect, an audio process, or a parameter change, click Discard.

Note

• The Auto Apply function for instant rendering is suited for most workflows. However, if you work with long events, we recommend to deactivate it.

• Activating Auto Apply deactivates Pin Process automatically.

Pin Process

If this option is activated and you add a plug-in effect or an audio process, you can apply it to several consecutive audio events with the same settings.

To render the plug-in effect or the audio process into an event, select the event and click Apply. To discard the plug-in effect or audio process, click Discard.

Note

• Pin Process is useful if you work with plug-ins that have a learning function or if you want to apply the same amount of an effect to an event multiple times.

• Activating Pin Process deactivates Auto Apply automatically.
