Direct Offline Processing Workflow

You can perform offline processing operations in the Direct Offline Processing window. The window always shows the processing of the selected audio.

For the Direct Offline Processing window, the following applies:

• Only one instance of the window can be open.

• The window size is determined by the displayed plug-in or process.

• The window is non-modal and remains open, even if you edit in the Project window.

• The window is always on top of your application. You can change this by activating/deactivating the Always on Top option in the context menu.

• If Auto Apply is activated, you can use offline processing even if the Direct Offline Processing window is in the background or minimized.

When you add or modify offline processing, the following applies:

• All changes are instantly applied to the audio.

  Note

  You can change this by deactivating Auto Apply in the Direct Offline Processing window. This can be necessary if you work with long events or if you use plug-ins that have a learning function.

• If you modify parameters or remove processing, these changes are instantly applied to the audio.

• You get a visual feedback while a process is running.

  Note

  You can add, modify, or delete plug-in effects or audio processes at any time, even if a process is running. A new rendering process is instantly started.

• You can undo and redo all Direct Offline Processing operations by using Ctrl/Cmd-Z or Shift-Ctrl/Cmd-Z.

• If you load a project with offline processing of plug-in effects or audio processes that are not available on your computer, these processes are shown as Not available in the Direct Offline Processing window.
