A preset is considered "modified" when you either create one or you make
changes to one and update it with the Update button.Preset System
Adding and Removing Presets
Add: Clicking this button adds the current Nectar settings as a new preset. You
can type a name and optionally add comments for the preset. Note that a few
keys such as * or / cannot be used as preset names. If you try to type these char-
acters in the name they will be ignored.
Note: This is because presets are stored as xml files (for easy backup and trans-
ferring).
Their file names are the same as the name you give the preset (for easy ref-
erence) and therefore characters that are not allowed in Windows file names are
not allowed in preset names.
Delete: To permanently delete a preset, select the preset from the list and click
the Remove button.
Update: When you click the Update button your current settings are assigned to
the selected preset (highlighted). This is useful of course for selecting a preset,
tweaking it, then coming back to the preset system and clicking Update to save
your changes to the existing preset.
Compare: The Compare button is a great way to quickly hear the difference
between the default settings of the most recent preset that you've selected, and
the result of any changes that you have made to this preset (Working Settings).
This lets you start your mixing session based on one of Nectar's default presets
and then continue to tweak the settings, always comparing to where you started.
New Folder: The New Folder option allows you to easily add custom named
folders to the Nectar preset manager.
Show at Startup: This allows you to set whether or not the preset manager will
open automatically when starting Nectar.
