Video Transcript

"This setting of a plug in are very useful as far as when you want to save a preset or you've got a sound that you want and you might want to import it or copy it to another plug in and things like that. What you've got to do is go to the little up and down arrow right next to the factory default bar and you're going to see what your options are Save Settings, Save Settings As, Copy Settings, Paste Setting, Import Settings and setting preferences. This is good for if you want to - maybe you have a reverb that you really really like what you could do is you could set the plug in default to that reverb. So every time you open up there is no turning to it it's automatically going to start on that reverb, and this is very helpful for your mixing when you're recording so that people automatically have a good setting already. So there's no playing around especially if you're adding things while they're recording. They don't want anything drastic. They just want it to sound good all the time. So once again within this setting you can always, as well, you can always make a reverb and just save it to here. So when you make one just have the Save Setting As and rename it, and then once it's all set you could always just go to the factory default and it will open the librarian and you can see some of the presets that I've made already here."
