DigiRack Plug-ins Guide 18
The Plug-in Window
The Plug-in window appears whenever you click
a plug-in Insert button on a track. This floating
window lets you set the controls of any real-
time plug-in insert in use on a track.
Track Selector
Accesses any non-MIDI track in a
session.
Insert Position Selector
Accesses any insert on
the current track.
Plug-in Selector
Lets you select any real-time
plug-in installed in the Plug-ins folder (that is
created when you install Pro Tools).
Effect Bypass Button
Disables the currently dis-
played plug-in. This lets you compare the track
with and without the effect.
Convert Plug-in Selector Lets you convert the in-
sert from a TDM plug-in to an RTAS plug-in of
the same type (or vice-versa). This feature can
only be used on plug-ins that are available in
both TDM and RTAS formats.
Clip LED Lights red to indicate if any meter in a
plug-in has clipped (not available on all plug-
ins). The Plug-in Clip LED follows Pro Tools set-
tings for clip indication (see the
Pro Tools Refer-
ence Guide for more information).
Settings Menu Lets you copy, paste, save, and
import plug-in settings.
Librarian Menu Recalls settings files saved in the
plug-in’s root settings folder or in the current
session’s Settings folder. See “Using the Librar-
ian” on page 115.
Next (+) and Previous (–) Setting Buttons Let
you select the next or previous plug-in setting
from the Librarian menu.
Plug-ins Settings Select Button

Plug-in Settings dialog, which lists the settings
files for the current plug-in. From this list, you
can select a new setting, or audition a series of
settings.

plug-in setting and any changes you have made
to it so you can compare them.
Auto

for automation recording. See “Automating
