shelving EQ EQ type that allows reducing or increasing the frequency range above or

below the specified frequency.
side chain A side chain is effectively an alternate input signal—usually routed into an
effect—that is used to control an effect parameter. As an example, you could use a side
chained track containing a drum loop to act as the control signal for a Gate inserted on
a sustained pad track, creating a rhythmic gating effect of the pad sound.

Touch Tracks An Environment Object that allows MIDI Regions to be assigned to, and
triggered by, individual MIDI note events. This enables you to assign a number of
musical phrases to different MIDI keyboard keys, and trigger (or record) them in real-
time, making the process of arrangement faster and more intuitive.
