Using Plug-Ins to Create New Master Clips
Display/Hide Master Clip Controls button
To create new master clips, using the AudioSuite plug-ins:
1.  Drag one (or more) master clips or subclips into the AudioSuite window.
The system automatically enters Master Clip Processing mode and expands the AudioSuite window, if necessary.
You can click the Display/Hide Master Clip Controls button to display or hide the controls for processing a master clip. To enter or exit Master Clip Processing mode, click the Toggle Master Clip Mode button. The button is yellow when Master Clip Processing mode is active.
2.  If you dropped more than one master clip in the AudioSuite window, click the Clip Selection pop-up menu, and select a clip to work on.
3.  Select the input sources from the Input Source Track selectors.
4.  (Option) Change the preview source track; Alt+click (Windows) or Option+click (Macintosh) the Input Source Track selector.
5.  (Option) Type a value in the Handle Length for End of Master Clip text box to lengthen the clip by a specific amount. For example, type 2 if you plan to add a 2-second reverb trail.
  If you are using Time Compression Expansion plug-ins, the plug-ins automatically lengthen or shorten the clip.
6.  Click the Plug-in Selection pop-up menu, and select a plug-in.
7.  Click the Activate Current Plug-in button to open the plug-in's dialog box. For more information, see Using a Plug-In Dialog Box.
8.  Make any changes and click the Preview button to preview the effect.
9.  Either render the plug-in from the Plug-in dialog box or return to the AudioSuite window. For more information on rendering, see Rendering Plug-In Effects.
When you click the Render Effect button, the system creates a new master clip in the target bin. The system names the new master clip by combining the original clip name with the effect name, for example:
  (Windows) Test Audio clip_Normalize
  (Macintosh) QuietClip.Normalize
The system also creates an AudioSuite effect template in the bin as described in Using AudioSuite Effect Templates.
