— Right-click an audio clip with a plugin applied and choose Cache Audio Effects to enable audio effect caching for that clip. If you right-click one of multiple selected clips, you’ll enable Cache Audio Effects for all selected clips at once. Once enabled, that clip will be continue to be cached (and
re-cached if you change the plugin’s parameters) until you manually disable audio caching.
— Right-click an audio clip that’s been cached and choose Cache Audio Effects to disable audio effect caching for that clip.
Exporting Audio Clips With Plugins
Another way of easing the burden of audio clip effects on your system is to export the effected clip to another layer. This creates a new piece of audio media with the effect “baked in,” which is written to the directory location specified by the “Save clips to” field of the Capture and Playback panel of the Project Settings.
— Right-click an audio clip with a plugin applied and choose Export Audio Files. If you right-click one of multiple selected clips, you’ll have options for what you would like exported for each selected clip all at once.
Exported clips no longer have editable effects, but you can always choose View > Show Audio Track Layers to see the original underlying clip that still has the original plugin effect applied, and you can unmute it, move it back up to the top, edit the effect, and export another version of the clip, which appears as the topmost layer.
For more information on exporting clips to files, see Chapter 171, “Editing Basics in the Fairlight Page.”
