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 a VST preset.
4. Double-click the preset to load the settings.
RESULT
The VST instrument and its settings (but no inserts, EQs, or modiers) on the existing track are
overwritten with the data of the track preset. The previous VST instrument for this instrument
track is removed. The new VST instrument 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 a single 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.
Loading Multi-Track Presets
You can apply multi-track presets to several selected tracks.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Project window, select several tracks.
NOTE
Multi-track presets can only be applied if track type, number, and sequence are identical for
the selected tracks and the track preset.
2.
In the track list, right-click a track and select Load Track Preset.
3.
In the preset browser, select a multi-track preset.
4.
Double-click the preset to load it.
RESULT
The preset is applied.
