Some key points to think about:
- The order you apply effects can be important, so the plugin effects should complement and build on each other instead of undoing the previous plugin’s work.
- After adding effects, you should always test turning your plugin effects on and off to check that they actually made your sound better.
- Once you’ve finished setting up your mixer effects chain, you can save the mixer track by right-clicking on the mixer track and selecting File | Save mixer track state as. Then, you can easily load it in the future...
