Making Inserts Inactive
Plug-in inserts can be made inactive to free up their resources for other uses. When a plug-in insert is inactive it retains its assignment, position, and related automation data. However, it will not pass audio.
When opening projects, inserts will automatically be made inactive in any of the following situations:
• A plug-in is not installed
• A plug-in type is not available
To make an insert inactive, do one of the following:
Command-Control-click (Mac) or Control-Start-click (Windows) the Insert button.
Right-click the Insert button and select
Make Inactive.
To toggle inserts in the same position on all tracks active or inactive:
Command-Control-Option click (Mac) or Control-Start-Alt click (Windows) an Insert button in the position you want to toggle.
To toggle inserts in the same position on all selected tracks active or inactive:
Command-Control-Option-Shift-click (Mac) or Control-Start-Alt-Shift-click (Windows) an Insert button in the position you want to toggle.
