Chapter 2: Working with Real-Time Plug-Ins 19
The Settings Menu
The Settings menu allows you to save, copy,
paste, and manage plug-in settings files.
Settings menu commands include:
Save Settings Saves the current settings. This
command overwrites any previous version of
the settings. The setting then appears in the Li-
brarian menu.
Save Settings As Saves the current settings un-
der a different name.
Copy Settings Copies the current settings. You
can then apply these settings to the same type of
plug-in on a different track by choosing the
track in the Plug-In window and pasting the set-
tings with the Paste Settings command.
Paste Settings Pastes settings copied with the
Copy Settings command.
Import Settings Imports a settings file from a lo-
cation other than the Root Settings folder or Ses-
sion folder.
Delete Current Settings File Permanently de-
letes the current settings file from disk.
Lock Settings File Prevents the current settings
from being overwritten by the Save command.
If you attempt to save parameter changes, you
will be required to save them using a different
name or disk location.
Set As User Default Defines the current settings
as the User Default for a specific plug-in.
Settings Preferences
The sub-menus that appear here are for choos-
ing preferences for saving and importing plug-
in settings. They include:
Set Plug-In Default To Sets the default setting to
either Factory Default (the standard default set-
ting for that plug-in) or User Default (your cus-
tom setting).
Save Plug-In Settings To Selects the folder where
plug-in settings are saved. If you choose Session
Folder, the settings are saved in a folder named
“Plug-In Settings” within the current Session
folder. If you choose Root Settings Folder, the
settings are saved in the folder you specified
with the Set Root Settings Folder command.
Set Root Settings Folder Selects a location or
root folder for saving and importing settings.
The root settings folder must be named “Plug-In
Settings.” Use this command only if you want to
choose a location other than DAE’s Plug-In Set-
tings folder.
Choosing a Destination for
Settings
Before you save settings, select their destination
folder.
To select a destination folder:
■ From the Settings pop-up menu, choose Set-
tings Preferences > Save Plug-In Settings To, and
choose Session Folder or Root Settings Folder.
Settings menu
To save plug-in settings to any location
other than the Plug-In Settings folder in the
DAE folder, you must first create a folder
named “Plug-In Settings” in the new loca-
tion and then save to that folder.
