Trying to save a VST3 "Save as default configuration" isn't working

Post by chris harbin » Wed Mar 22, 2023 12:45 am

Is this only for native FX? When I try to set up a default for each VST, the next time when loading it, it doesn't work.

I did have some fiddly stuff happen when trying to have track defaults at first too, then it started working.

third party plugins have their own internal ways of managing presets (which vary between plugin devs). this is different to the way that Live's built-in devices work.

Yeah, that's what I figured. It's fine. Thanks.

Save as default saves the Configure details. That is the plugin controls you add to the list.

Most vsts have a save as default, or as init, or something similar.
