Using Insert Effects - PRESONUS AudioBox Stereo Quick Start Manual

Any Track that begins after another Track in time will normally be the beginning of a new
Track on a CD or other medium, with the starting position serving as the beginning of the
Track, regardless of the timing of crossfades.
12.4.4 Splitting Tracks
To split any Track, set the playback cursor where you want the split and press [Alt]+[X] on the
keyboard. The resulting two Tracks can now be edited like any other, including editing meta-
information in the Track column. Splitting a track for a Song will not adversely affect the ability
to automatically update that Song's mastering file, so it is possible, for instance, to split a long
live performance into many Tracks in a Project and still edit the related Song normally.
Note it is not possible to split a Track where the resulting two Tracks would not be at least 10
seconds in length, per the Red Book CD standard.
12.4.5 Enabling and Disabling Tracks
Any Track can be disabled at any time. Disabling a Track will remove the Track from the
Timeline but will keep the Track in the Track column, with the label "This Track is disabled."
This is helpful if you need to remove a Track from the Project timeline but are unsure of
whether the Track should be removed completely.
To disable any Track, select it in the Track column and choose Disable Track from the Project
file menu. To enable a disabled Track, select it and choose Enable Track from the Project file
menu.
12.4.6 Track Markers
All tracks in a Project automatically have a track marker attached to the beginning of the event
in the Timeline. It is possible to manually insert other Track Markers by floating the mouse
between the Timeline ruler and the Track lanes until the Arrow tool turns into the Marker tool,
then simply clicking where you want to put the Track Marker. Manually inserted Track Markers
are green in color, while automatically placed markers are blue in color. Track Markers can be
moved across the Timeline by clicking-and-dragging left or right.
Note that Track Markers are only used when burning a CD, or exporting an image file or DDP
file. When exporting a digital release, manually placed Track Markers are ignored, and separate
files are only rendered for actual Tracks, as listed in the Track column.

Using Insert Effects

Insert effects can be used in the Project page in much the same way as on the Song page. Each
Track has a dedicated Device Rack, and there is also a Master Device Rack. Inserts are handled
in the Project page as described in the Configuring Inserts section of the "Mix" chapter,
including the ability to use FX Chains and the built-in effects Micro Views.
