Track Presets
Track presets are templates that can be applied to newly created or existing tracks
of the same type.
You can create them from virtually all track types (audio, MIDI, instrument, group,
FX, VST instument return, input, and output channels). They contain sound and
channel settings, and allow you to quickly browse, preview, select, and change
sounds, or reuse channel settings across projects.
Track presets are organized in the MediaBay.
Audio Track Presets
Track presets for audio tracks, group tracks, FX tracks, VST instrument channels,
input channels, and output channels include all settings that define the sound.
You can use the factory presets as a starting point for your own editing and save
the audio settings that you optimized for an artist that you often work with as a
preset for future recordings.
The following data is saved in audio track presets:
• Insert effects settings (including VST effect presets)
•EQ settings
• Volume and pan
NOTE
To access the track presets functions for input and output channels, activate the
Write buttons for input and output channels in the MixConsole. This creates input
and output channel tracks in the track list.
Instrument Track Presets
Instrument track presets offer both MIDI and audio features and are the best choice
when handling sounds of simple, mono-timbral VST instruments.
Use instrument track presets for auditioning your tracks or saving your preferred
sound settings, for example. You can also extract sounds from instrument track
presets for use in instrument tracks.
The following data is saved in instrument track presets:
• Audio insert effects
•Audio EQ
• Audio volume and pan
• MIDI insert effects
