4.4.3.2 Setting the Order of DSP Processing Blocks
The following processing blocks (provided they have been configured) can
be placed individually at different locations along the Audio Path of each
channel:
•
EQ;
• Insert Point;
• Dynamics (Compressor/Limiter/Expander/Gate/Sidechain);
• Delay;
• Fader & ON/OFF Mute.
The actual order of the system blocks is user-modifiable, and can be
changed at any time. The order is stored with Snapshots and Presets.
To change the system-block order, use the familiar drag-and-drop tech-
nique:
•
Click on the selected blocks, and hold down the trackball button;
• Available positions in the signal path are shown as a reversed em-
bossed graphic;
• Drag the selected block to the required position in the signal path;
• If the block can be inserted at that location, the block name will turn
red ;
• Release the button and the selected block will be inserted into the new
location.
