5 Using Instruments and Effects
When you added the Software Instrument Apple Loop to the
Inst 1 track, you undoubtedly noticed that the corresponding
Arrange channel strip was filled with a number of new fields.
These are known as Insert slots, which are used for insert effects. Instrument channel
strips also feature an Instrument slot (just below the I/O label on the channel strip).
Software instrument plug-ins can only be inserted into instrument channel strips. The
method is the same, regardless of the instrument you choose. You can do this from the
Mixer window, but it’s faster and easier to use the Arrange channel strip, at the bottom
of the Inspector. You can also make use of the Library, which is discussed in the
following section.
Before beginning this exercise, click the Media button (at the right-hand end of the
Arrange Toolbar), and click the Library tab, if not already chosen.
