Hey everyone,
Ok, so I just finished a recording session with my cover band. This session was strictly drums and bass, guitar, sax keys later. I am doing an initial mixdown and want to reduce the redundancy of my work. We recorded 6 songs, therefore 6 different .als packs. I know that on each song I want to add the same Eq8 and compressor to my kick. I've done that in the first song, made some tweaks, etc, and have it where I like it. I would like to save the effect rack (eq + compressor) as a preset that I can drag onto the kick track on each of the other 5 songs so I don't have to repeat this work every time. I know you can click on an individual presets little "disk" icon in the upper right corner and it saves *that* preset, but I can't figure out how to save the two effects together as a rack preset (is that the proper terminology?).
I am coming from Logic where it shipped with complete instrument effect settings, i.e. there were multiple kick drum settings that, upon selection, would apply eq, compression, gate, etc etc. I LOVE Live's workflow, SO MUCH more 'my style'. But I really liked Logic helping someone like me who isn't a producer or mixing engineer by providing these presets. I'm willing to figure out a setting that I like to start, but again would like to save the set of effects as a preset.
I looked in the manual and all I could find were instructions on saving an individual preset as described above. Help a brutha out?
Thanks!!

Re: Save multiple effects as a preset in Live 9
select both effects (eq + compressor). I think with shift & click
Then right-click and choose group. You now have a composite device with a little vertical bar that says audio effect or whatever. Click on the round macro control at the top and it will unfold. Click on the disk icon on the macro control tab and you will be able to save your preset in your user folder.

Finn, PERFECT! I swear I don't know how I missed that. I DID the multiple select and right click, as you would think that's exactly how to do it. I must have had momentary blindness to miss it. Thanks so much!
