Inactive Plug-in Inserts
Inactive plug-in inserts retain all associated au-
tomation playlists. In addition, any edits made
in the session affect the plug-in automation
playlists. You cannot record automation or ad-
just the controls for an inactive plug-in.
Inactive Hardware Inserts
Inactive hardware inserts retain their assign-
ments, but do not pass audio and do not con-
sume any DSP resources.
