Summary

In this chapter, we had a look at some of the awesome new and updated effect devices that arrived with the Live 11 software update to spark our creativity and discover new possibilities.

We also explored the differences between using effects inserted directly onto tracks in serial or using effects with Return Tracks for parallel processing, which is super important for a more efficient mixing workflow, as well as managing our CPU usage.

Last but not least, we also had a look at what sidechaining is and how we can use this technique with various devices to achieve different effects, as well as learning how to have more control over our sidechaining by using a ghost sidechain track.

In the next chapter, we will further explore parallel processing on a track basis and learn more interesting and complex techniques by discovering Racks and the new improvements to them that Live 11 brought.
