Working with Effect Presets
Many effects come with several combined parameter settings called presets. Presets are
a handy way to get up and running with Soundtrack Pro effects without having to
learn a lot of details about their various parameters. For example, the MatrixReverb
effect (in the Mac OS category) has presets for various sizes of room, hall, and chamber
settings, as well as Plate reverb and Cathedral settings. If an effect has presets, the
presets appear in a Factory Presets pop-up menu in the list of effect parameters.
You can show an effect’s presets, add and delete presets, apply a preset, adjust preset
parameters, and create your own presets.

m Click the Show Presets button in the advanced settings window.
