Applying Audio Effects

You can destructively apply audio effects for one or more tracks. When you are pleased with the audio
effects you have patched into a track, you can apply the effects to the track. Applying effects to a track
saves resources, allowing you to include additional tracks and/or effects
Note:
When applied effects are undone, they are not re-patched in the FX bin(s).
To Apply Multiple Audio Effects Offline
1. Add one or more audio effects to one or more tracks in either the Track view or the Console view.
2. In the Track view, select the tracks or clips you want to be affected.
3. Select Process-Apply Audio Effects.
The Apply Audio Effects dialog appears.
4. If desired, select the option to delete the effects after applying them.
5. Click OK.
If you do not delete the effects after applying them, they remain active.
CPU Usage of Audio Effects
The number of real-time audio effects that your computer can handle depends on the number of audio
tracks in your project, the number and type of effects you want to use, and the type and speed of your
CPU. Certain effects are more CPU-intensive than others, and enabling certain settings (such as using
equalization within the Stereo Reverb) increases CPU usage for those effects.
