ADDING AUDIO EFFECTS CHP. 7
Saving plug-in chains
You can save and edit the plug-in chains that you add to tracks or busses or create as assignable effects chains.
Saved chains retain the order of plug-ins and the settings that you have applied. Vegas stores these chains as
effect packages for use in future projects. If you use the same plug-in chains regularly, saving them as packages
is faster and more consistent than recreating the chain manually.
Once you save a chain as a package, you can use it as either a track, bus or assignable effects plug-in chain.
Saved plug-in chain packages appear in the Plug-In Chooser dialog.
1. Click the Track FX, Bus FX or Assignable FX button ( ). The appropriate FX window (Track FX, Bus FX, or
Assignable FX) appears.
2. Click the Plug-In Chain button ( ). The Plug-In Chooser dialog appears with the plug-in chain displayed
at the top.
3. Click Save As. The Save Plug-in Package dialog appears.
4. Enter a name for the package.
5. Click OK or press to save the package.
