What is saved in an input preset compared to a scene?


Recommended Posts

If I tweak say the male vocal with reverb preset so that I've changed the eq, compression and reverb settings, and save it as say "Joe's vocal w/reverb"  will that new preset always have all of those exact changes saved for when I use it again? or does the preset only save the effects and their order but not the tweaks?

Also, In the scenes that are saved, I understand that everything from  the trim levels, and effects are saved so you could have a specific setup for say a whole lot of vocal reverb and/or delay for one particular song and then load a different scene for a different song?  Maybe I'm confused in that perhaps the amount of effects are saved in the scenes rather than the presets?

When you save a preset it is saved with all current settings in the Preset Library. That makes it available for recall, in its saved state, at any time from the library into any Setup. When you add it to a Setup, a copy of that preset is made and is available as is (and as a basis for further tweaking) in the Setup.

 

Once in a Setup you can tweak the local copy of the preset without affecting the Preset Library version of the preset. All changes and tweaks you make to the local copy of the preset in the Setup are saved as part of the Setup when you save the Setup. This does not affect the Preset Library version of the preset. When you save multiple Scenes within the Setup, each Scene keeps its own version of all presets in the Setup based on their specific settings when the Scene was saved. A complete copy of all these presets and their settings is kept with each Scene, and each preset has its own specific settings in each Scene. None of these affect the version in the Preset Library.

 

And, yes, a typical use of Scenes is to define different settings for one or more presets in different songs.

 

Here's how the manual describes what it saved with a Scene:

A Scene is essentially a snapshot of all your settings within the current Setup. These include settings for processor and FX parameters, channel levels, mute, solo, pan position and monitor send levels.
