VST Presets
VST instrument presets behave like instrument track presets. You can extract sounds from VST
presets for use in instrument tracks.
The following data is saved in VST instrument presets:
●
VST instrument
●
VST instrument settings
NOTE
Modiers, inserts, and EQ settings are not saved.
VST effect plug-ins are available in VST 3 and VST 2 format.
NOTE
In this manual, VST presets stands for VST 3 instrument presets, unless stated otherwise.
Extracting the Sound from an Instrument Track or VST Preset
For instrument tracks, you can extract the sound of an instrument track preset or VST preset.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the instrument track to which you want to apply a sound.
2. In the Inspector, click Extract Sound from Track Preset.
3. In the preset browser, select an instrument track preset or VST preset.
4. Double-click the preset to load the settings.
RESULT
The VST instrument and its settings (but no inserts, EQs, or modiers) on the existing track are
overwritten with the data of the track preset. The previous VST instrument for this instrument
track is removed and the new VST instrument with its settings is set up for the instrument track.
Multi-Track Presets
You can use multi-track presets, for example, when recording setups that require several
microphones (a drum set or a choir, where you always record under the same conditions), and
you have to edit the resulting tracks in a similar way. Furthermore, they can be used when
working with layered tracks, where you use several tracks to generate a certain sound instead of
manipulating only one track.
If you select more than one track when creating a track preset, the settings of all selected tracks
are saved as one multi-track preset. Multi-track presets can only be applied if the target tracks
are of the same type, number, and sequence as the tracks in the track preset, therefore, they
should be used in recurring situations with similar tracks and settings.
