Linking and Unlinking Controls on
Multi-Mono Plug-ins
When a multi-mono plug-in is used on a stereo
track or greater-than-stereo multichannel track
(Pro Tools HD only), the controls are linked by
default. Adjusting the Gain control on one
channel, for example, will adjust it for all chan-
nels.
You can unlink multi-mono plug-in controls on
specific channels of a track and edit them inde-
pendently. You can also selectively link the con-
trols of specific channels.
To unlink controls on a multi-mono plug-in:
■ Deselect the Master Link button.
To access controls for a specific channel:
■ Select the channel from the Channel selector.
To link the controls of specific channels:
1 Deselect the Master Link button if it is not al-
ready deselected.
2 Click the Link Enable buttons for the chan-
nels whose controls you want to link. For exam-
ple, on plug-ins that do provide discrete LFE
controls from the LFE Enable button, you can
link all channels except the LFE by highlighting
the icons representing the five full-range speak-
ers in a multi-mono plug-in.
Editing Plug-in Controls
You can adjust plug-in controls by dragging the
control’s slider or knob, or by typing a value into
the control’s text box. For instructions on edit-
ing specific plug-ins, see the plug-in’s documen-
tation.
To adjust a plug-in control:
1 Begin audio playback so that you can hear the
control changes in real time.
2 Adjust the controls of the plug-in for the effect
you want.
3 Close the Plug-in window to save the most re-
cent changes.
