Default Recording an Effect - 100% Wet

Is it possible to record the effect of any given plugin without a signal passing thru it? For example, adjust the settings of a plugin, record the effect it's creating (as an audio track), combine that recorded effect to a given track and get the same results as if the plugin was an insert on that track?

Hopefully I explained that well enough.

Well that’s what heat does.....but not exactly like an effect

I don’t believe this tactic will work out

Is Heat the Saturation plug for PT HD? Never tried it, as I just have regular PT. I have tried Bob's Pheonix II plugin and loved it.. not enough to drop a few hundo, but ya..

I think it's also similar to the way the Acustica Audio Aqua plugs operate.. and maybe even convulsion reverb?

That sounds like what audiosuite does. "Effects" plugins, along with everything else your computer does, are basically just math. An algorithm is applied to a file that is digital representation of program material. There isn't actually any signal flowing through anything in the box. You can apply an audiosuite process and have it create a new clip, but I don't think it would sound the same if you mixed it back in as just processing the file itself. The math would generate different numbers basically

Why do you want to do this? If you want to use the same settings on another track just create a custom user preset with those settings. Then you can use it wherever you want.

BTW it's convolution reverb NOT convulsion

Convulsion reverb - that's the sound you get from the after effects of drinking too much and making use of the bathroom.
