Working with Track Presets
Ö You can also drag and drop track presets from the
Windows Explorer or the Mac OS Finder, but in this case,
no preview for track presets is possible.
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”.
The Presets browser opens. Here, the files are presented in list form.
3. Select a track or VST preset from the list.
If needed, activate the Categories option in order to show a customiz-
able filter section that is similar to the one in the MediaBay, see “Perfor-
ming a Category search” on page 281.
4. Hit the Play button on the Transport panel to preview
the selected audio, MIDI, instrument track or VSTpreset.
All settings from the track preset will be applied in realtime to the se-
lected track. If you set up your target track to a cycle and play back in
loop, previewing will be very comfortable. Note that you cannot preview
multi track presets.
5. Click outside the browser to apply the selected preset
or click the Reset button below the list to return to the un-
changed track.
Applying a multi track preset
1. Select several tracks in your project.
The selected tracks have to be of the same type, number and sequence
as the tracks in the track preset.
2. Right-click the track to open the context menu and se-
lect “Apply Track Preset”.
The Presets browser opens. Only multi track presets corresponding to
the selection of tracks in the project will be shown.
3. Select a multi track preset from the list.
4. Click outside the browser to apply the selected preset
or click the Reset button below the list to return to the un-
changed track.
Reloading track or VST presets
To revert to the default settings of the applied preset, click
the “Reload Track Preset” button.
Applying Inserts and EQ settings from track
presets
Instead of handling complete track presets, it is also pos-
sible to apply Insert or Equalizer settings from track pre-
sets:
1. Select the desired track, open the Inspector or the
Channel Settings window and click the VST Sound button
on the Inserts or Equalizers tab/section.
The presets pop-up menu is opened.
2. Select “From Track Preset…” in the pop-up menu.
The Presets browser opens, showing all available track presets that con-
tain Inserts or EQ settings.
3. Select the track preset with the desired Inserts or EQs
and click outside the browser.
For information on the general handling of Inserts presets,
see “Effect presets” on page 164. The general handling of
EQ presets is described in the section “Using EQ pre-
sets” on page 125.
