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.
Loading track or VST presets in the Inspector
or the context menu of the track
1. In the Project window, select a track.
2. Click in the Load Track Preset field at the top of the In-
spector (above the track name) or right-click the track in
the track list and select “Load Track Preset”.
The Presets browser opens.
3. Select a track or VST preset from the Results list.
If needed, filter the list by activating the attributes you are looking for in
the Filters section. This section is similar to the Filters section in the
MediaBay, see
“The Filters section” on page 321.
4. Start playback to preview the selected audio, MIDI,
instrument track, or VSTpreset.
All settings from the track preset are applied in realtime to the selected
track. If you set up your target track to a cycle and play back in loop, pre
-
viewing will be very comfortable. Note that you cannot preview multi-
track presets.
5. When you have found the preset that you want, dou-
ble-click on it (or click outside the Presets browser).
The preset is applied.
• To return to the preset that was selected when you
opened the Presets browser, click the “Revert to Last
Setting” button.
Applying a multi-track preset
1. Select several tracks in your project.
Multi-track presets can only be applied if track type, number, and se-
quence are identical for the selected tracks and the track preset.
2. Right-click the track to open the context menu and se-
lect “Load Track Preset”.
The Presets browser opens. Only multi-track presets corresponding to
the selection of tracks in the project are shown.
3. Select a multi-track preset from the Results list.
4. When you have found the preset that you want, dou-
ble-click on it (or click outside the Presets browser).
The preset is applied.
• To return to the preset that was selected when you
opened the Presets browser, click the “Revert to Last Set
-
ting” button.
Reloading track or VST presets
When you have modified the settings of a track or VST
preset and are not satisfied with the results, you can revert
to the default settings of the preset by clicking the “Re
-
load 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. Proceed as follows:
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 Preset Management pop-up menu opens.
2. On the pop-up menu, select “From Track Preset…”.
The Presets browser opens, showing all available track presets that con-
tain inserts or EQ settings.
3. Select a track preset and click outside the browser.
For information on the general handling of inserts presets,
see “Effect presets” on page 200. The general handling of
EQ presets is described in the section “Using EQ pre-
sets” on page 161.
