Subject:Info on "Input Bus Effects"? Posted by: Piano Peddler Date:2/12/2015 7:25:01 PM A new feature listed for SF11 is that of assigning effect chains to the Input Bus. I couldn't find any way to do this in the user manual or the online help. Does this feature mean that one could, for example, have a software limiter/compressor (supplied with SF11) process in realtime an audio source that is being recorded by SF? I presume the "Input Bus" is the bus that feeds the Record module in SF?

Subject:RE: Info on "Input Bus Effects"? Reply by: Piano Peddler Date:3/5/2015 4:42:11 PM Christo, Thanks for pointing me to the Record Options window. In playing with the Plugin Chain, it does actually record the effect-processed Input Signal. However, the check box for "Monitor input through Plug-In Chain doesn't seem to work. It always processes the monitor signal through the plug-in chain, checked or not. Also, I couldn't get Help (? button) to work for any of the Izotope effects, nor could I find online help on their website for the Mastering and Repair Suite. Does Help work for you?

Christo,

Thanks for pointing me to the Record Options window.

I beg to differ - here the result of the Plugin Chain is definitely NOT RECORDED - did you Bypass the Plugin Chain after recording? - if so, you should find the recording was un-touched. (the Plugin Chain is always active during Play, unless bypassed.)

That is not the case here - the "Monitor input through Plug-In Chain" 'switch" works!
