Plugins & Processing - Posted on 2017-03-13 by Corrine Selden

Here are a few highlights from what I learned about plugins and processing in Chapter 10:

• Plugins are a set of software components that add capabilities to a larger software. 
• Time based effects are typically used on an aux track with a send.
• AutoTune is made by Antares. 
• RTAS stands for Real Time Audio Suite.
• TDM stands for Time Division Multiplexing.
• The VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugin format was developed by Steinberg. 
• The render button on an Audiosuite plugin renders the changes you have made to the audio file itself, and creates a new file in the clip list. 
• Pro Tools 11 has discontinued support of both RTAS and TDM based signal processing. 
• Dynamic and frequency based processors are typically used on an insert.
• Audiosuite plugins save processing power by precessing digital audio offline.
• You must have a clip selected to use Audiosuite plugins.
