Hey again guys.

I’ve noticed I can’t do anything with plug in presets in PT.

I know the stock presets were a problem in the older protools. But now I’ve upgraded to the current version of tools, I can’t see any preset at all except the factory defalts, when I’m on the library name field.  I tried saving some presets in some plug ins, and I can’t see them either. Is there something new going on here with to get access to the plug in preset settings.

Steve

Hi steve,

there never was a problem with factory presets in Pro Tools so I’m not sure what you’re thinking of. In the case of saving your own presets, you’d need to choose “Save As…” from the Settings menu. If you haven’t saved any prior and, if there aren’t any factory presets, Pro Tools will create a folder in your Documents/Pro Tools/Plug-in Settings folder and will take on the name of the plug-in. Occasionally the manufacturer name precedes the plug-in name and sometimes it doesn’t. You can either double-tap VO+f2 and look at the Plug-in window’s title or, alternatively, you can sort your Plug-in Settings folder by date. To do this, focus on the folder and press Control+Option+Command+4. By default, the newest item will be at the top of the list and that should be the folder where you saved a new preset.

Hope that helps,
Slau

Hey, thanks Slau.
Yeah, actually after further investigation I think there is a problem with the plug in window in tools on my system.
I've got my wife Karen to have a look at the screne. There are no plug in presets available to choose from. When I try to sav a setting with save as, as I have always done, it is not a a valable to find on screne, or with voice over. all I have to choose from is the one setting. The one factory defalt setting.
So unless you have further ideas, I think it is a problem in my set up.
My mac is an old one, I'm running Monterey 12.75. That's the latest OS I can put on this mac.
I've got the current version of PT, according to avid, it is complient with Monterey.
Don't worry mate. I think it's an issue I'll need to sort. I've trashed the ;preferences in tools. With PT prefs. But they didn't want to trash. So weard stuff happening with this thing.
Fun and games. Lol

Got it sorted now. We had to rebuild the plug in presets in tools. Some sort of corruption in the preset settings. But working well now. New protools is great. Very happy I updated.
