Save multiple effects as a preset in Live 9
Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2013 3:02 pm
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!!
