Plug-in and hardware inserts can be made inactive to free up their resources for other uses. When a plug-in insert is inactive it retains its assignment, position, and related automation playlists. However, it will not pass audio and does not consume any DSP (TDM) resources.
When opening sessions, inserts will automatically be made inactive in any of the following situations:
|
Opening the session results in plug-in type substitutions. This can happen if the type is available but substituting would result in an unsupported condition, such as opening a session containing a DSP-based AAX or TDM plug-in for which a host-based AAX or RTAS version is unavailable.

To toggle inserts in the same position on all tracks active or inactive:
|
|
Control-Start-Alt click (Windows) or Command-Control-Option click (Mac) an Insert button in the position you want to toggle.
|
To toggle inserts in the same position on all selected tracks active or inactive:
|
|
Control-Start-Alt-Shift-click (Windows) or Command-Control-Option-Shift-click (Mac) an Insert button in the position you want to toggle.
|
Inactive plug-in inserts retain all associated automation playlists. In addition, any edits made in the session affect the plug-in automation playlists. You cannot record automation or adjust the controls for an inactive plug-in.
Inactive hardware inserts retain their assignments, but do not pass audio and do not consume any DSP resources.
