Conditions for AudioSuite Rendering with Handles, Fades, Clip Gain, and Metadata

Most AudioSuite plug-ins provide several options for rendering clips, but only certain settings let you apply AudioSuite handles. For example, AudioSuite Handles are not available with Entire Selection mode (since the point of this option is to render the whole selection only). Fades and crossfades, and clip gain settings are preserved or rendered depending on the File mode and AudioSuite Rendering mode settings. Additionally, clip metadata can be preserved for rendered clips under certain conditions. The following conditions apply.


File Mode	Rendering Mode	Handle Behavior	Whole File	Fades	Clip Gain	Metadata
Overwrite File	Clip By Clip	No Handles	Unavailable	Preserved	Preserved	Preserved
Overwrite File	Entire Selection	No Handles	Unavailable	Rendered	Rendered	Preserved
Individual Files	Clip By Clip	Handles created	Available	Preserved	Preserved	Preserved
Individual Files	Entire Selection	No Handles	Unavailable	Rendered	Rendered	Preserved
Continuous File	Clip By Clip	Handles created at the beginning and end of the new continuous file	Unavailable	Rendered	Rendered	Not preserved
Continuous File	Entire Selection	Handles created at the beginning and end of the new continuous file	Unavailable	Rendered	Rendered	Not preserved

Some plug-ins that rely on the Edit selection for processing (including plug-ins that require an analysis pass) may not work as expected when using handles. In this case, it is recommended that the handle length be set to zero.
