Can digital effect processors like distortion,
panning, echo, etc. be applied to digital audio tracks?
Yes. Just insert a digital effect ("Misc. tools"
palette) in the digital track, it will be played from its
position.
I would want to synchronize an existing
digital track with a standard staff, imported from a MIDI file. How
to do this?
You need Harmony Assistant. In the "Scripts>Digital
sound" menu, select "Adjust tempo on digital track". You will be
able to mark the beat on the digital track, so that the standard
staff will be in sync with it.
Is there any way for merging (i.e. bouncing or
ping ponging tracks) two digital tracks together e.g. if I have two
harmony vocal tracks can I mix them down to one and save processing
power and disk space for other purposes.
Select the first track by clicking on the left of the
staff.
