CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO User Manual page 351

The Tools-Mixdown Audio-Export to File(s), allows you to apply real-
time effects when you export, so you do not need to apply your effects
destructively or use the Mixdown Audio-Bounce to Track(s)
command to prepare the tracks beforehand. For information about
Mixdown Audio, see ÒPreparing Audio for DistributionÓ on page 9-29.
Effects Parameters
Each effect in an effects patch point has its own independent set of
parameter values. For example, you can apply a short reverb in one
track and a long reverb in another track. The dialog boxes for real-time
effects contain the same parameters described in Chapters 6 and 7,
though there are a few differences:
¥ You can adjust the parameters while playback is in progress, so
there is no need for an Audition button.
¥ For Audio effects, because mixing is handled through the Console
view, there is no Mixing tab.
¥ You do not need to click OK for the effect to be applied.
Refer to the sections ÒMIDI EffectsÓ on page 6-49 and ÒAudio EffectsÓ on
page 7-37 for descriptions of the effects and their parameters.
Using Real-Time Effects
It is very easy to use the Console viewÕs real-time effects. HereÕs what to
do:
To do this...
Add a real-time effect to a MIDI track,
audio track, aux bus, or main
Change the order in which effects are
used
Edit an effect's parameters
Move an effect to a different patch
point
When you place an effect in the patch point, an abbreviated name is
used to describe the effect. Sometimes the limited space makes it
impossible to identify the effect. If this occurs, simply rest the cursor
over the effect for a second or two, and a tool tip will pop up to display
the full name of the effect.
Do this...
Right-click in the Effects patch point
and select an effect from the list
Drag the effects up or down in the
patch point list
Double-click on the effect to open the
effect's dialog box
Drag the effect to another patch point
