So you're saying that I can use fx like compression on the track? Because that's what I'm doing. But you're saying to insert the effect in the synth rack rather than the fx bin?

If you are inserting the synths in the effect bin, you need to make sure that the plug-ins are inserted after the synth in the chain. Your best bet is to insert them in the synth rack.

I'm applying compressors, etc on audio tracks with softsynths on them, and the plugins don't sound like they're working. Omar Binno www.omarbinno.com
