hey what's going on out there i'm sean divine hope you all are doing well today i have a
very quick tutorial for you all who are are waves plugin users as well as studiorack users
up until this point it has been kind of a pain to manage all your different waves presets especially
in studiorack you just pretty much have to load them one by one but recently they had an update
in waves 12.7 makes this so much easier so let me go ahead and show you how this works if we
just go ahead and open up studio rack this is the latest version but you're going to notice
on the interface now that there is no load button seen here in the the toolbar and that's because
this is now located by clicking the preset name and this goes for all your other waves plugins
and then that will open up your preset menu here you'll see your factory presets also your user
presets which i'm going to show you how to install those and access them directly from this menu here
but you can also just load them up you know as you normally would by clicking the load button
navigate to wherever you download your presets or wherever you have your waves presets stored
on your hard drive and we'll just click it and we have access to the preset now if you want to
be able to access all your studio rack presets as well as all your waves plug-in presets directly
from the menu as you see here all you have to do is just go to the show user presets folder
i just click that and this will show you all of your presets let's just say i downloaded this
vocal chains sr all i'm going to do is just go ahead and copy the preset folder directly to my
studio rack user presets and then once that's copied over and we go back here to studio rack
if i click on the preset menu you'll see down here in my user presets there is a vocal chains sr even
if you have you know embedded folders here it will show up exactly the way that you have them listed
so very very convenient and we can just click on those and again they'll open the same way i've
been on a different track that life looks good on you but it's not my path lord heal my soul but the
world on hold while they talk beyond my back so this works the exact same way for all your other
waves plugins let's just say that i loaded up the c4 you'll see that if we click on this preset menu
here we have our user preset folder i've also got a piano preset that i like to use and so again you
can just copy the individual waves plugins presets there and they will show up once again in the menu
another great update in not only studio rack but all of your waves plugins is that we have this
preset browser which it seems like something again that would be pretty obvious but in
action especially with studio rack it's especially effective to preview different presets and just
kind of go through them so once we've loaded in our presets like we just saw i can open the
preset browser and it'll pop up this little search window and let's just say that i knew maybe the
name of the preset was hiptune i've got a couple of hiptune pro presets that i like to use so if i
just type them in there they'll show up here and now when i click on them we can actually preview
them preview them in real time and they'll just switch between if i want to try pro i can just
click on it and it'll automatically switch between them so true star kaleidoscope dreaming my vibe
yeah so you can just go through them all in real time and again that's really effective not
only just for vocal chains but if you have like mastering chains you know i have all my mastering
chains that you can just go through and find a great starting point just by clicking on it you
know get something that is working pretty well and then of course you can go in and tame them with
your macro controls once again makes the workflow that more powerful and fast to get a sound dialed
in and get something going really quickly all right y'all so just a quick tutorial showing
you how the new preset browser management works in waves 12.7 this is available in the latest
version of studiorack and again from the plugins all you need to do is go into waves central make
sure you have the latest update if you're a studio rack user a waves plug-in user like me
and you have lots of presets it's just incredibly convenient to now be able to have access to them
directly from the menu rather than loading them one by one and just kind of navigating in the old
cumbersome way so a welcome addition if you have any questions about managing your
studio rack presets or waves presets feel free to leave a comment below if you learn
