Switch effect chain in session view
Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2024 7:44 am
Hi!
I'm preparing a live site with multiple songs to be triggered / manipulated live.
The session view has 8 tracks (the first two for the drums, the third for the bass, four and five for synths and so on). Each "song" spans multiple rows where each row is a section of the piece. I mostly have audio clips that I made from the original track. In this way I can play / rearrange the songs live.
What I want to change among songs is the effects that apply to each track. For instance, in the first song the fourth track is a synth with an autofilter and a chorus, while in the second second the fourth track is a synth with a reverb and a echo and I want to manipulate the effects live.
I don't know if there is a standard / preferred way to do this. I'm trying with an effect rack that has one chain per track, so that all the effect racks for the first song use "chain 0", all the effect racks for the second song use "chain 1" and so on. I'm trying to make empty clips with an envelope that changes the chain to the one appropriate for the song to be played, but while it works, it only works for the current empty clip and as soon as I trigger an actual clip with audio in the same track the chain goes back to where it was.
Can you help me? Thanks!
