AudioSuite Dialog Settings
The settings at the top of the Pro Tools AudioSuite dialog decide how audio clips are sent to SpectraLayers Elements and how the results are imported back. These are Pro Tools settings, not SpectraLayers Elements settings:
-
Clip List / Playlist: In Clip List mode, each clip is sent whole, in its original channel format (mono, stereo, etc.) and at its original length, plus any handle length you specify. In Playlist mode, the time selection on the tracks is sent as it appears in the timeline. Use Playlist mode to merge or split channel formats.
-
Use in Playlist: Make sure this button is enabled (highlighted in blue). If it is off, the processed clips are only added to the Clips List and do not show up on the timeline.
-
Overwrite Files / Create Individual Files / Create Continuous File: Decides how the results are written back. Some options are not available in every mode. Create Individual Files is recommended. It creates new clips that replace the original clips on the timeline, and the original audio files are left untouched. Overwrite Files replaces the original audio files. Create Continuous File is only available in Playlist mode, and merges all the processed clips into a single clip when importing back.
-
Clip by Clip / Entire Selection: Decides how clips are sent to SpectraLayers Elements. Clip by Clip keeps each clip separate. Entire Selection sends all the selected clips as one continuous piece of audio.
-
Mono Mode / Multi-Input Mode: Only shown in Playlist mode. Mono Mode sends each channel as its own mono clip, so a stereo clip is split into two clips. Multi-Input Mode sends all the channels together.

To edit each clip separately in its original channel format and length, select Clip List, enable Use in Playlist, and choose Create Individual Files and Clip by Clip. |
