the goal that i am trying to acomplish is this. i have a song written, and at a certai part i want the music to become telephone sounding. i use my waves 10 band to do this, then i want the song to kick in normally after this point. how do i do this? i tried automation on the master fader , but this doesnt work. do i have to use this effect on every track individually? wouldnt that take up to much cpu power? i have read the manual and i have cubase power but i still am having a hard time getting this to happen.


thanks
 
If it's for sections on the final mix, then I would do it to the 2-track version.

If it's for a group of tracks, then I create multi-track stems (subgroups) and apply the effect to the stems.
 
zook250,

I agree with Blue Bear. If you want it to affect everything, then it sounds like a mastering thing, to be done to the two-track final mix.

let me jump on your post, if you don't mind...can you apply the effect to a portion of the track, without permanently changing the track?
 
Any effect used as an insert or a send effect doesn't permanently effect the track. You can turn it off, on, or change parameters or the whole effect and the audio portion of the track remains the same.

The only way (I think) to "burn" the effect to the track (destructive editing) is to rerout it and rerecord it to another track. This will permanently put the effect on the audio.
 
ok, but can you insert an effect on just PART of the track, like I want flanger on the kick drum from 1:03 to 1:07?
 
You can select a portion of the audio and right click > process. then you can add effects to a portion of the audio.
 
so there is no way to apply an effect to part of a wav with out permanently changing that wav? Seems common, but kind of sucks.
 
not that i know of. you can always just click undo if you don't like it. It's too bad the automation doesn't work with effects. Otherwise that'd be perfect.
 
Glad you got the answer, sorry I hijacked your thread...thanks for getting my answer too though
 
This may be the long way around, but I copy to another track, cut out all but the affected parts, and boom, it's done. Saves me from messing with the original audio and I can use the mutes on the original track.
