Chapter 6: Effects
Effects optimize and enhance audio, giving your projects a polished, professional sound.
Applying effects
Preview and apply effects
Adobe Soundbooth CS3 lets you apply up to five effects at once, using an effects rack. Prior to applying a rack, you
can preview it, and then customize, bypass, or remove individual effects. Bypassing effects temporarily disables them
so you can compare processed and unprocessed audio. Removing effects frees up space for different effects or a new
arrangement of existing ones. (Rearranging effects in a different sequence produces different sonic results.)
For videos about applying effects, see
If you want to process a specific range of audio, select it in the Editor panel. (If you don't make a selection, Sound-

booth processes the entire file.)

From the Effects menu, choose an effect. Repeat this step to add up to five effects.

Use effect presets
Many effects provide default presets with settings optimized for common tasks. In addition to these defaults, you can
create custom presets for individual effects or entire racks. You access both types of presets in the Effects panel.
