How to Change the Volume

Waveforms are mixed at the signal level on a bus.
The volume parameter is adjusted in a Category.

Ducking and Limiting

You do not know how many sounds are played on a bus. However, you can analyze the volume and apply a compressor.

With a Category, you know how many Cues are played, so you can limit their number.
You also know how many Cues are played and in which Category, so you can also use a REACT processing.

Effects

When you auto-modulate parameters in an AISAC, you can treat them as effects in the Category or Cue.
You must send them to the bus before you can perform effect plugins.
