Mixing
The following table tells you how to use presets.
The Presets window also has a feature called Preset Dirty Flags. A Preset Dirty Flag is an asterisk
that appears next to the name of the preset. The asterisk tells you that you changed and saved this
particular preset in another project, and the settings in the current project are different from the
saved version. If you re-save the preset in the current project with the current settings, the asterisk
disappears, but will reappear in the other project, showing you that the displayed settings in that
project are different from the last saved version of the preset. If you want to get rid of the asterisk in
all projects, save the preset in each project with the exact same settings.

• Click the drop-down arrow on the right side of the Presets menu, and
