CHAPTER 7: Acadia: Audio Channels in Consoles
ASSIGNING PLUG-INS
The Acadia audio system supports VSTcompatible
plug-ins. These plug-ins offer
real-time processing of audio in Vision.
Vision ships with a large number of useful
plug-ins developed by Opcode. These
plug-ins are installed into a folder called
“VSTPlugins,” which must reside in the
same folder as the Vision application.
If you have other VST plug-ins you’d like
to use with Vision, just drag a copy of
them (or an alias) into the VSTPlugins
folder.
Up to four plug-ins can be used for each
audio channel—the output of each plug-in
connecting to the next (in series).
NOTE: Although you can assign up to four
plug-ins for each console channel, you probably
shouldn’t do this for every channel.
This can take up a lot of CPU resources and
limit the number of tracks you can successfully
play in Vision. For more details, see
“Chapter 11: Acadia: Optimizing for
Digital Audio.”
Following is an example of how to assign
plug-ins in the Console Window. For
details on using the Plug-In Edit Window
to edit, store, and recall plug-in programs,
please see Chapter 8: Acadia: Plug-In Edit
Window.
To assign a plug-in to an audio console
channel:
TIP: For easy access to any of the four
Console Windows, use the Commands
Window to assign a key equivalent to
open them.
From the Console Window menu,
choose Build Console
From>Audio Instruments.
Each of your Audio Instruments is automatically
assigned to a console channel.
NOTE: You could manually assign individual
channels to only those Audio
Instruments used in your sequence, but
this method provides a quick way to
create a single console that controls all
of your Audio Instruments.
From the Console Window menu,
press and hold the mouse on the
Plug-Ins item.
Vision produces a submenu of plug-in
choices.
Choose Windows>Consoles>
Console 1.
The Console Window opens.
