Direct Offline Processing Toolbar

The toolbar of the Direct Offline Processing window allows you to apply audio processing, to audition the audio with the current edits, and to make global settings for offline processing.

On the toolbar, the following options and settings are available:

Add Processes

Add Plug-in

Allows you to add a plug-in effect to the selected event or clip.

Select Preset

Allows you to select a plug-in preset.

Add Process

Allows you to add a built-in audio process to the selected event or clip.

Apply Options

Auto Apply

If this option is activated and you add or modify a plug-in effect or an audio process, it is instantly rendered into the audio and added to the process list in the left zone of the Direct Offline Processing window.

If this option is deactivated, you can make changes on the process panel without instantly rendering them. To add the plug-in effect or the audio process to the process list or to apply parameter changes of a process that you have already added, click Apply. To discard a plug-in effect, an audio process, or a parameter change, click Discard.

Note
  • The Auto Apply function for instant rendering is suited for most workflows. However, if you work with long events, we recommend to deactivate it.
