Working with AudioSuite Plug-ins
AudioSuite plug-ins differ from TDM and RTAS
plug-ins in that they are used to process and
modify audio files on disk rather than nonde-
structively in real time. Depending on how you
configure a non-real-time AudioSuite plug-in, it
will either alter the original source audio file or
create an entirely new audio source file.
The AudioSuite Menu
AudioSuite plug-ins are accessed through the
AudioSuite menu.
Plug-ins can be organized in the AudioSuite
menu in Pro Tools by Flat List (with plug-ins in
alphabetical order), Category, Manufacturer, or
Category
and Manufacturer.
