Processing plugins/FX

[jarnld]

I was wondering if there is any way to process a plugin on a region of audio like in Pro Tools. In PT if you select a region of audio you can put a plugin on the track or actually apply a plugin (for example a 'gain' plugin) to the selected region of audio.

 

Thanks again with my PT to Logic learning disability!

In Logic 8 you can do that by opening your audio file in Soundtrack Pro and applying the plug-in there from the Process menu. Then flatten and save the audio file, and your file is updated in place in Logic.

 

In Logic 9 you just click "Bounce Regions"...

so there is no way to do it inside logic in the arrange window like PT?

 

Doesn't that seem like a pretty big oversight in the software? Cause I use that all the time in PT! Gain and reverse especially.

 

Tell me it aint so!?

It aint so! Gain and reverse are available in the Sample Editor. Just 2-click your audio region and the region opens in the Sample Editor. Then check the Function menu.

 

These are not plug-ins as they work on the file, not the audio stream, which is why David answered your original question with a no. If you upgrade to LP9 you can do this with plug-ins, however.

man!....the learning curve is steep...not to mention the manual is 1000 pages...

 

I appreciate it, yet again
