Plus, use the Search and Add Plug-in key command to add plug-ins without even clicking a channel strip insert.

• Enhancements: Some handy enhancements are here to make your life easier:

  • Drag channel strips to organize your mixer layout.

  • Send your mix to Voice Memos to easily preview it on iPhone, iPad, or even Apple Watch.

  • Hold command and click on any plug-in slot to quickly remove plug-ins.
