Effect presets
• All effects can be edited using a simplified control panel (horizontal sliders only, no
graphics). This generic editor is opened using the context pop-up menu in the top
right corner of the plug-in panel.
Effect control panels may have any combination of knobs, sliders, buttons and graphic
curves.
Ö The included effects and their parameters are described in detail in the separate PDF
document “Plug-in Reference”.
• If you edit the parameters for an effect, these settings are saved automatically with
the project.
Comparing effect settings
You can compare two different parameter settings for an effect.
Proceed as follows:
1. Adjust the effect parameters for setting A, and activate setting B by clicking the
“A/B Setting” button.
As a starting point for setting B, the parameters for setting A are copied.
2. Adjust the parameters for setting B.
You can now click the “A/B Setting” button to activate setting A and compare both
settings. Settings A and B are saved with the project.
You can copy the settings between A and B using the corresponding buttons.
Effect presets
In the MediaBay – or with certain limits in the Save Preset dialog – you can assign
attributes to presets which allow you to organize and browse them according to
various criteria. Cubase comes with categorized track and VST presets that you can
use straight out of the box. You can also preview effect presets before loading them
which considerably speeds up the process of finding the right effect preset.
Effect presets can be divided into the following main categories:
• VST presets for a plug-in.
These are stored parameter settings for a specific effect.
• Inserts presets that contain insert effect combinations.
These can contain the whole insert effects rack, complete with settings for each
effect, see
“Saving insert effect combinations” on page 247.
