Apollo Software Manual Chapter 6: Console Settings 127
I/O Presets Overview
The I/O presets controls provide methods for managing complete Core Audio panel con-
figurations as I/O preset files. When an I/O preset file is saved, the current Core Audio
panel configuration is written to disk.
When an I/O preset file is subsequently reloaded, the Core Audio panel is returned to
the exact same routing state, regardless of any changes to Core Audio settings that were
made in the interim.
I/O Preset Files Location
I/O preset files are saved to, and loaded from, the user’s home folder at:
• ~/Documents/Universal Audio/IOPresets/
Note: I/O preset files must reside in the default location to appear in the Route
Presets popover window within Console.
Session Files Suffix
I/O preset files have the “.uadio” suffix. The suffix is added to session files automatically
when saving to disk; however, the suffix is not displayed in the file save dialog (the suffix
should not be manually typed when saving a I/O preset file).
Note: Without the .uadio suffix, the session files will not be visible in the load
preset window.
Factory I/O Presets
A variety of I/O presets are pre-installed with the software. The factory I/O presets are
provided for backwards compatibility with Apollo sessions created with Console v1.
To take advantage of all of the new features in Flex Driver and Console 2.0, the new
“Default” mode “Custom” modes may prove more appropriate in order to take advantage
of the new features (such as limiting the driver to 32 I/O channels, arranging the I/O in
any desired order, using up to 4 CUE mixes, or using up to 8 Virtual I/O channels). Note
if older DAW sessions were saved using previous versions of Apollo’s driver and the new
Flex Driver features are used upon reload, the Input/Output configuration tools in the
DAW software may need to be modified.
I/O Presets Menu
The currently loaded I/O preset name is displayed on top of the menu
switch, as shown at right. If the I/O preset has not yet been saved,
then “(Untitled)” appears in the display.
If a loaded I/O preset has been modified since it was saved, the I/O
preset name is displayed in italics, as shown at right.
Clicking the I/O Presets display opens the I/O Presets Popover, where
various I/O preset functions can be performed.
