Hi all,

When you save plugin presets / .TFX files in any plugin from Waves in the ordinary Preset mechanism in Pro Tools, all of your presets from any Waves plugin is saved in the same folder. As far as I know, this is by default from Waves, since it has been like this since I started to use Waves plugins. There is not a separate folder for each plugin like with any other plugin from other developers.

Has anyone experimented with saving presets from Waves in separate folders? Is anyone else experiencing this, or maybe this is my own fault? ;)

Best,
John André

Hi John,

Although the presets are saved at the top level, you can certainly take those preset files and put them in any folder. Thus, if the folder name is the same as the name of the plug-in itself as it appears in the header of the Plug-in window, the presets will show up in a sub menu of the presets menu. Hope that makes sense.
Cheers,
Slau

Hi John,

I've been saving Waves presets since the waves tool bar access went south many years ago.

Just make a folder for say "h-comp" then save your presets from hcomp in to that folder and bang your done.
Besides my waves presets saves over the years I had Waves in "Tel aviv save out many presets while in their pro tools and then make them available for us VO users to use.
You can contact waves and hit them up for those presets on your own if you want.
I've posted waves contact emails many times in the past on this list! :)
Talk soon
