Introduction to Plugin Chains

If you’re not sure what plugins are: What Are Audio Plugins? (Audio Processing)

A plugin chain is a series of audio plugins that your audio flows through.

Most times when you’re producing audio you’re going to want to process the audio using several processors which typically include compressors, EQ, expanders, de-essers, etc.

In your DAW you can add multiple plugins to individual channels and order the plugins as you please.

You can also save these plugin chains so that next episode you can apply the same exact plugin chain with all the same exact settings dialed in 😉

Do you save and re-use plugin chains?
