ter Fader track, then click Create.

Set the outputs of all audio tracks in the ses-
sion to Outputs 1–2 and set the panning of each

Plug-Ins
Plug-ins provide EQ, dynamics, delay, and
many other types of effects processing, and
function either in real time (RTAS) or in non-
real time (AudioSuite).
RTAS plug-ins are nondestructive effects, which
are inserted on tracks to process audio in real
time, during playback—just like an external
hardware processor.
AudioSuite plug-ins 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 create an entirely new audio file, or
alter the original source audio file.
Real-time plug-ins are assigned to tracks from
the Inserts view in the Mix or Edit windows.
Once assigned to a track, plug-ins appear in the
track’s Inserts view, and can be opened by click-
ing the Insert button.
To insert a real-time plug-in on a track:
1
Make sure the Inserts View is shown in the
Mix or Edit window.
2
Click the Insert selector on the track and select
the plug-in that you want to use.
Pro Tools comes with a complete set of DigiRack
plug-ins, and many more are available from
Digidesign and our Development Partners.

cluded with Pro Tools, see the DigiRack
