Blend in the dry signal

Process one band or mid/side only

In the Mix popover, pick Low, Mid or High in Apply to, and type a crossover in the field under it. Pick Side (stereo) to widen only the sides with a chorus or reverb.

Make a reverb or delay throw

Automate Input on a reverb or delay card and pull it down after the word you want thrown. The tail rings out instead of being cut off.

Move an effect to a Return

Good to know

  • Everything outside Apply to passes untouched and stays in time, so a plugin that does nothing sounds exactly like the original.
  • Input never changes the dry signal. That is why it makes a clean throw.
  • With a band, Mid or Side, Dry is that part only.
  • The Mix button turns orange when anything differs from the default, and the card names the part, for example Low < 180 Hz. Reset puts everything back.
  • Moving an effect to a Return sets Apply to back to All, because a Return is fully wet. One ⌘Z undoes the move.
  • Set each plugin to that band. For EQ, compression, delay and reverb it sounds the same as one shared band.
  • A saturator’s added harmonics stay in the signal and are not split again.
