Download n-Track Studio User Guide

Software effects processing via plug-ins is one of the most powerful features of
software-based multitrack recording in general and of n-Track in particular.
Effects plug-ins can be added in a number of different ways. By default, nTrack automatically adds a Compressor plug-in on each track channel. This is
very handy because most channels need a bit of compression (and for those
that don‟t, simply leave the compressor at its default settings, which leave the
signal unaffected).
Click on the "EQ Properties" button on the track‟s mixer strip next to the three
small EQ knobs
. You‟ll see the built-in EQ window appear and, below
it, the Compressor plug-in window.
Effects processing is always performed in
real-time, so you can tweak the plug-in
settings while listening to the result of the
processing. Click on the drop-down preset
list and choose a preset that is suited to the
track (for example, “Soft knee
compression”).
For detailed info on how to use the
compressor, right-click on the plug-in‟s logo
and select Help from the popup menu.
1.4.3.Re-Recording Portions of a Track
Now that we‟ve added a bit of punch to the vocal track, we‟re ready for the
third track: a couple of electric guitar solos, one in the middle of the song and
one near the end. Record the third track as you did the other two.
Let‟s say that the first guitar solo goes well, but the second doesn‟t come out
right. Since the first solo was OK, you don‟t want to re-record the whole track,
but you want to overdub the second solo.
Click on the
button on the left side of track 3, then select MME: Microsoft
Sound Mapper – Right Channel (or the name of your input soundcard channel
if your configuration is not the default).
