Real Time Effects
|
Real Time Effects. A set of three buttons and LEDs at the top of each mixer module enables the real-time effects for a track. The effects are applied to the whole track, not to individual samples. To apply an effect to one sample, not in real time, use the Plugins option in the menu in the sample list window. Up to three effects can be applied to any track. Using too many effects will overload the processor. You may be able to avoid this by sharing an effect between several tracks, which is done by using the Aux sends and returns. The Aux route also allows you to apply exactly the same settings of an effect to more than one track at a time. |

Click on one of the buttons to bring up the Effects requester. The effects are grouped into six types. Each effect is implemented as an Amiga library file, stored in AE's Plugins directory. This means that more can be added as they become available. The types are Gain Amplifiers and compressors Delay Delays and Echoes Frequency Equalisers and Filters FX Effects such as Tremolo Reverb Reverbs and Room Effects Once a plugin has been selected, its button will show the name. Clicking on the button again brings up the control panel. All the plugins use a standard interface window, with three control knobs. If there are more than three controls, an Up arrow gives access to the others. The LEDs next to the buttons on the Mixer act as On/Off switches for the effects. To remove an effect, shift-click on the button. |
