How to Drag and Drop Presets into a Plug-in
If you want to quickly open a Soundtoys preset someone has sent you without hunting around for a preset folder on your hard drive, there's a neat little shortcut for that:
- Open the plug-in in your favorite audio host.
- Drag a preset onto the plug-in. It will load the settings from that preset instantly.
- Make any tweaks you like. Enjoy!
Saving the preset to your library
Want to save those settings for later? Just make any changes you want, then do the following:
- Click the Save button (floppy disk icon in the plug-in's top menu).
- Select Save As... from the dropdown menu.
- Choose a clever name for your preset and hit Save.
Your new preset will now be available in the User folder in the plug-in's preset browser.
Sharing a preset
You can also send a single preset to a friend or collaborator easily:
- Click the Save button (floppy disk icon in the plug-in's top menu).
- Choose Organize... from the drop down menu. This will open your presets folder in the Windows or Mac file browser.
- Open the User folder and drag or copy the preset you want to share.
- Attach the preset file to an email or share it via Dropbox, Google Drive or your favorite file sharing service.
