adding an effect in OFF mode

eturnol · Post by **eturnol** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 6:53 pm

hi,

there are multiple times where i have a clip running, and everything is good, but then, to mix things up, i think to myself "now lets add an effect"

the problem is that as soon as i add the effect, it turns on, and starts affecting the clip before im ready, most of the time not the way i want it to. then i have to endure a few moments of painful music while i set up the effect the way i want it to, and then things run smoothly again.

this happens multiple times in every session, and unfortunately, im not enough of a visionary to be able to think of every effect i might want to use before i start playing every clip.

so is there a way to drag in an effect into a playing clip with it starting out in OFF mode? that way i could edit it the way i want before i turn it on, and turn it on on beat, so that everything runs smoothly.

thanks!

I think you can do this using the send tracks, ie put the effect onto a send and then you can choose when and how much of your track to send to it.

hi thanks for the input. sends are probably what ill end up doing. so is it not possible to add an effect to a track in off mode then?

no its not
set up a track template with the efx you already use and have them turned offfffffffffff. then turn them on when you want.

Arranger view has this feature already.
You select the effect and there is a device ON/OFF clip which can easily be programmed to great effect in the Arranger .
I use this for kicking delays ,buffer overun effects etc in and out a specific sample points within loops etc in the arranger itself.
Personally though I prefer the arranger view .
You can cut and paste multiple clips/phrases turn looping on or off.
Have seperate transposition ,warp/grain types and the like per section of clip and so on and so forth ...
Pretty versatile IMHO .

Um - night be a bit obvious but no-one's mentioned it. I drop the effect(s) onto a totally empty mixer channel, get the settings right (or in your case turn it off) then drag & drop to the appropriate track.
