Hardware Insert

Internal loopback only: tests level, delay and polarity. Does not reach audio hardware.

What it does

Internal loopback only: tests level, delay and polarity. Does not reach audio hardware.

Add it to a track

Select the destination track, open Plugins, and choose Add Effect. Find this device in Library → Devices → Audio Effects. Effects process the signal from the devices before them in the chain.

Controls

Control	What to listen or look for
Send	Trims the level into this device's internal loopback delay path; external hardware routing is not implemented here.
Return	Trims the level after the internal loopback delay path; no external hardware return is connected.
Latency	Sets the internal loopback delay in milliseconds.
Invert	Reverses the polarity of the signal; the left-channel control affects only the left side.
Loopback	Turns the internal loopback on; off makes the wet signal silent. This does not connect an audio interface.
Output	Sets the signal level leaving this stage.
Mix	Blends the original signal with the processed signal; 100% gives only the processed sound.

Work with this device

Start with a short passage that represents your material. Change one control at a time. Compare at a similar listening level, using the device's power control to bypass it. Save a version of the project before making a large change.

Current behavior

The current build uses an internal delayed-return model. This device does not route audio to physical outboard hardware. Use Audio setup for interface input and output selection.
