In addition to the standard AudioSuite controls that are common to all AudioSuite plug-ins, there are a number of special-purpose controls found only on certain plug-ins:
If you have made a selection that includes clips from multiple tracks, the Normalize AudioSuite plug-in (as well as some third-party AudioSuite plug-ins) lets you choose whether you want to perform processing on a channel-by-channel/track-by-track, or an all-channel/all-tracks basis using the Chan/Track Process Mode selector.
Analyzes and processes each selected track individually. If you apply the Normalize plug-in to multiple tracks or a multichannel track in Peak On Each Chan/Track mode, each channel or track will be normalized independently, without regard to the other selected tracks.
Uses all currently selected channels and tracks for analysis. If you apply the Normalize plug-in to a multichannel track or multiple tracks in Peak On All Chans/Tracks mode, the tracks will be analyzed as a single entity and clips will be normalized relative to the averaged peak level within all selected channels and tracks.
For some gain processing plug-ins, the Find Level button can be found next to the Render button in the AudioSuite Plug-In Window footer. It can analyze a selection without actually processing it. For example, using the Gain plug-in, you can use the Find Level button to determine the maximum peak level on a track at a specific gain value before you process the audio.
Selects a track/bus to be used to trigger processing. In order to use this feature, the key input source audio must occur at the same time as the target audio. Side-chain input is monophonic. See Side-Chain Input.

The Channel Mode button lets you process contiguous channels within a selected clip as though they were mono or stereo tracks (and in some cases greater-than-stereo tracks), regardless of the type of tracks they occupy.
Processes each contiguous channel within a selected clip as a separate mono track. For example, a clip comprised of six mono tracks would be processed as six mono tracks.
Processes each contiguous pair of channels within a selected clip as a stereo track. When applied to an odd number of channels, the plug-in processes the last odd, unpaired channel as mono, using the left channel settings of the stereo plug-in. If you want the last track to be processed in stereo, you must select an additional track to pair it with—an empty one if necessary.
For example, a clip comprised of two mono tracks would be processed as a stereo track, with the first mono track processed as the left channel and the second mono track processed as the right channel.
Processes each set of three or more contiguous channels within a selected clip as a multichannel greater-than-stereo track, with the number of selected channels determining the type of track. For example, five contiguously-selected channels would be processed as a 5.0 track, while seven contiguously-selected channels will be processed as a 7.1 track.
