effects active on certain clips, same channel?

Post by behndy » Tue Sep 28, 2021 12:46 am

hello!

was wondering if there was a way to bind effects inserts to a clip in a channel?

for example, if i have a drums channel with 2 different clips, and i want the first clean but the second to have an beautifully ugly effect active over it, right now i just copy the channel and make one clean, one effected. seems a little inefficient space/layout wise though.

only other workaround i know is to record modulation of the effect going on and off. but that gets a little confusing or annoying when i have to remember to make the clean clips go to zero on the effect.

is this something i should be using sends for? not gonna lie, i SUCK at sends. never really use them.

thanks!

Sends aren't really what you need, since you won't necessary need parallel processing.
Automation/modulation is the way to go...
