Saving Presets
You can create and save any number of your own presets in the Device Browser.
The Save Preset Button.
Click the Save Preset button to save a device's current settings as a new preset. You will
be redirected to the Browser, where you can press
Return
to use Live's suggested name, or
you can type one of your own.
For detailed information on what can be done with the Browser, please see the Manag-
ing Files and Sets chapter. For more on how to store project-specic presets, see the
appropriate section.
15.2 Using Plug-Ins
The collection of devices that you can use in Live can be extended with plug-ins. Live
supports Steinberg Media's VST Plug-ins format, as well as Apple Computer's Audio Units
Plug-ins format (Mac OS X only).
Working with VST and Audio Units (AU) Plug-ins is very much like working with Live devices.
VST and AU instruments can only be placed in Live MIDI tracks and, like Live instruments,
they will receive MIDI and output audio signals. Plug-in audio effects can only be placed
in audio tracks or following instruments. Please see the previous section, Using the Live
Devices, for details.
