28 Adding PlugIns Video Lecture | Tracktion 5 Tutorial: Master Music Editing - Video & Sound Editing

in this video I want to show you how to
apply effects plugins to traction using
the really flexible mixer section in
traction so that's the section over here
if you go on traction and grab here you
can stretch this out and you can also
even reorder the elements that are
native to it like this is the meter and
this is the volume and pan object and
you can even reorder for that matter you
can even duplicate these see you for
some reason you want to have volume and
panning before and after the meter just
click it on it hit d to duplicate it now
we've got a second one and we can move
that around in you might want more
meters you can duplicate those move them
around and if for some reason you're on
a track that has its own volume control
like an instrument track you can click
in here and actually delete all of this
stuff and you can see I took out all of
those plugins so the whole mixer is
basically made out of plugins that you
can completely configure reconfigure so
I'm going to hit ctrl Z to undo that and
then delete these extras just grab it
reorder them to where we've got the
order the way we want in previous
versions of traction we always called
the plugins filters there's also rack
filters and other kinds of filters and
in reality they're plugins or effects in
order to apply them you grab this blank
filter or plug-in object and just drop
it wherever you want and then the list
of everything available comes up here so
if we wanted to insert stay and
equalizer here then now we've inserted
the equalizer when you click on a
plug-in its properties come up down here
in the properties section so these are
the properties for the traction
equalizer if you put in a third party
plugin so I'll put in a tone boosters
compressor here you can see that the
properties come up here on its own
graphical user interface pop up and
that's this is typically out traction
works third-party things pop up in a
normal plug-in window where the native
effects will come up down here in the
properties section I
this in the past but any of these can be
bypassed by hitting f you can also buy
pass them by clicking or deselecting
enabled in the property section alright
so I'll take these two out now in
traction 5 we have a really great
browser and it allows us to search for
plugins so if I click over here to open
the browser and then go to the plugins
tab now I've got my whole plugins list
and anything I type in here will filter
this list so if I wanted to add a delay
to my lead part I can just type in a few
letters of the word delay and any effect
named delay I can pull it in so let's
use the H delay on the lead guitar part
so I just drag it over put it here and
it should sound
[Music]
so I'm just going to insert a basic slap
preset right off of the plug-in itself I
can adjust its wet/dry control right
here and then I'll position the cursor
here and play that back a little bit
[Music]
now I normally use the plug-in browser
to find the effects that I want to apply
to my track now in addition to this you
could put plugins down in the master
section right here it says drop master
plugins right here so if I want to put
in a limiter there I'm just going to use
TB to go to my tone boosters like toned
boosters barricade is kind of a cool
limiter then I could just drop that
right in on the master and then
everything that's being mixed together
we'll go through this chain I can put in
several plugins here and basically they
go on my two bus
[Music]
[Music]
and just like in the other sections I
can bypass this plug-in by selecting it
hitting F or back over in the property
section I can deselect the enable in
order to bypass I can always take an
effect out by selecting it and hitting
delete like that or you can put it back
in with undue which is commands your
control Z now if you wanted to have
several plugins on the same track you
could really just stack them up and
create whatever chain you want so if I
want to add also a reverb to this I put
the reverb you can see this red
indicator will allow me to choose where
to put it i'll put it after this delay
[Music]
[Music]
there is no separate mixer view which is
kind of refreshing when you're working
in traction you just continue to work
and build up the mixer section over here
you can hide it at any point with the M
command on this mapping so you can bring
it up bring it down you never really
have to change your thought process
between a track view and a mixer view so
that's an overview of how you apply
effects in traction 5 thanks for
