Kill switch for audio effects

Post by jrkelly99 » Sat Apr 05, 2014 12:44 am

Hey,

Quick question. Is it possible to map a kill switch to the effects? At times I have multiple effects on at once and it would be nice to turn them all off with one button. Let me know if possible.


Thanks,

Put a utility at the end of the effects chain, and hit/automate the little mute button at the top left

put all the effects in a rack and map the on/off button to a macro.

What do you do with the saved CPU cycles?

Will this reset the parameters once turned back on? I'm really looking for something to do a complete reset once a button has been clicked.

Not too poor to own Push and a new Mac Mini.

But thanks for all the extra CPU cycles. I am thinking of using them to compensate for plugin delays.

At Tom, is't it a hassle to map every effect in this way?

There should actually be a bypass effects button on every track in Live.
