Track Presets
Creating one or more audio, MIDI or instrument
tracks with the Add Track function
1. To create one or more new tracks from a track preset,
proceed as if adding a new track by selecting the corre-
sponding option on the context menu (or by using the key
command).
A dialog opens, in this example the “Add Audio track” dialog:
• If you want to create more than one track of this type,
enter the number in the Count field.
2. Click “Browse Presets” to open the Browse Presets
section of the “Add Track” dialog.
The view is filtered to show only the corresponding track presets, e.g. if
you choose “Add Audio Track”, only audio track presets will be displayed.
3. Select a track or VST preset.
At this point, you can preview selected MIDI and instrument track presets
as well as VST presets, see “Previewing MIDI, instrument and VST pre-
sets independently of tracks” on page 309.
4. Click OK to create the track(s).
The new track(s) will be named after the original track (not the track pre-
set).
Ö As adding multiple tracks is not available as menu op-
tion, multi track presets can only be used for track creation
via drag and drop or the “Browse Sounds” dialog.
Applying track presets
Track presets can be applied to tracks of their own type
only, i.e. audio track presets to audio tracks, etc.
When you apply a track preset, all saved settings are ap-
plied, see “Types of track presets” on page 301.
• For instrument tracks, VST presets are also available.
Since VST presets have no modifiers, MIDI inserts, inserts
or EQs, applying them leads to removal of your current
settings for these, see “Inserts and EQ settings from track
presets” on page 310.
Applying audio, MIDI and instrument track
presets
Applying track or VST presets via drag and drop
1. Open the Sound Browser from the Media menu.
You can also drag and drop from the Windows Explorer or the Mac OS
Finder, but in this case, no preview for track presets is possible.
2. Select a track or VST preset.
At this point, you can preview selected presets, see “Previewing track or
VST presets before applying” on page 309.
3. Drag and drop it onto a track of the same type.
Applying track or VST presets in the Inspector or the
context menu of the track

1. Select a track in the Project window.
2. Click the VST Sound button in the Inspector or right-
click the track to open the context menu and select “Apply
Track Preset”.
Click here to open the Presets browser.
In both cases, the Presets browser opens. Here, the files
are presented in list form.
