•

Output Device: This drop-down list is used to select the desired output device for the bus.

•

Installed Real-Time Effects: All installed Adobe Audition and DirectX effects are listed in hierarchical format. To

add an effect to a bus, select it and press the Add -> button. The effect will then appear in the Current Effects List

pane.

•

Current Effects Rack: All effects assigned to the bus are listed here. To remove an effect from the Current Effects

Rack, select it and press the <-Remove button. Move an effect up in the Current Effects Rack list (as long as it’s not

already in the top position) by selecting the effect’s name and pressing the Move Up button; the Move Down button

moves the select effect down in the list if it’s not already at the bottom.

•

Presets: The Bus Properties window supports the saving of favorite settings as presets. Press the New button to bring

up a dialog for naming a new preset. When OK is clicked, a new item is added to the drop-down Presets menu. To

remove the currently visible preset listing, press the Delete button.

•

Properties: Pressing this button brings up a tabbed dialog used to adjust the properties of each effect in the Current

Effects Rack.

Wet/Dry Fields

These ﬁelds show the percentage of bus effects that are active on this track. A Wet value of 100 means that

100% of the effect has been added and none of the original audio remains. A Dry Value of 100 means that just the original

audio (with no effects) can be heard.

To change the Wet or Dry values, select the desired ﬁeld, hold down your left-mouse button, and drag. Dragging to the

right increases the value, while dragging to the left reduces it.

FX/No FX Buttons

If a track doesn’t yet have an effect assigned to it (regardless of what effects may be assigned if the track

is part of a bus), pressing the No FX button brings up the Effects Rack for that track.

A typical Effects Rack window

Should an effect already be assigned to a track, clicking on the FX button shows the effects properties dialog.

Lock Button

If the Lock button is in a disabled (“grayed-out”) state, it’s because there are no effects on that track. If the

Lock button is up but not lit, the track isn’t locked. If the Lock button is down and lit, the track is locked.
