Audio Effects

Pro Audio provides the ability to use plug-in audio effects using
MicrosoftÕs DirectX technology. Some audio plug-in effects are supplied
with Pro Audio. Others can be purchased from third-party software
manufacturers, and appear automatically in Pro AudioÕs menus once
they are installed on your system. This section describes the effects that
are included with Pro Audio.
Using plug-in effects is similar to using the audio processing commands
described above. The overall procedure is as follows:
¥ Select the audio data to be affected.
¥ Choose the effect you want from the Edit-Audio Effects menu.
¥ Set effect parameters (or select a preset).
¥ Click Audition to preview the audio with the effect applied.
¥ Click the Bypass button to turn off the effect temporarily, so you can
Audition the signal both with and without the effect.
¥ Click OK to apply the effect to the selected audio data.
If youÕre not happy with the result, choose the Edit-Undo command
before doing any additional audio processing. Note that the Bypass
button is available in all Cakewalk Audio FX effects, but may not be
available in third-party effects.
Audio effects can be applied to whole or partial events. For example, you
can apply reverb to a single word in a vocal event, or apply a delay to one
guitar note.
You can apply audio effects, like MIDI effects, to audio tracks in real
time (during playback) in the Console view. Unlike any of the audio
processing discussed so far, using effects in real time is nondestructive.
This means that the audio event data itself is not modiÞed, and no new
