Clicking inside the rack lter editor will show the properties in the properties-panel (Fig. 9.2.2).
Name: Use this eld to give the new rack lter a name. The name will be shown over the rack lter icon
in the lter view, and used as the preset name if this rack lter is saved as a preset. It is a good idea to
give racks descriptive names. Opening an edit that contains a number of cryptically named racks, after
a few months have passed, is a misery you can happily avoid.
New input / output channel: Use these options to add new audio input or output pins to the rack.
When you select one of these options you will be prompted for a name for the pin. It is a good idea to
label left, right, and mono pins accordingly. Figure 9.2.3 shows an empty rack lter with two extra output
pins.
Rename input/output channel: To rename a pin, click this, and select the pin from the pop-up list. You
will then be prompted for a new name.
Delete input/output channel: To delete a pin, click this, and select the pin from the pop-up list.
Delete: This option deletes the rack from the edit. Use this with care, as any tracks that require this
rack will be affected.
The next three buttons allow you to manage rack presets. These tools allow you to create racks that
can be used in other projects, or distributed between your band members. Once a rack has been saved
as a preset it will be available to all of your edits from the new lter icon. If you read, or followed the tu-
torial at the start of this chapter, you have already used as rack preset.
Load: This button displays a pop-up menu from which you can choose one of your rack presets to load
into the current rack. Alternatively you can import a previously exported rack le.
