[RWP] Presets

[Jim Snowbarger]

Colin, thanks fo rthis.
The problem I am having is that, so far, every single one of these VST pliggins I have looked at, which come with reaper, absolutely none of them seem to have presets.

After I press f, and then choose an effect, I am placed back in that little dialog where you can muck with the effect.
AFter tabbing a couple three times,
there is what jas calls a comboBox, which says, No Preset.
And, for the position information, it might say 2 of 5, or 2 of 22, or something like that, suggesting that there should be more selections there.

If you up arrow, you hear restore factory defaults.
If you down arrow, you are just stuck on, no preset.
And, no matter which you choose, no additional lists or comboBoxes appear.
Something doesn't seem right about that.  And, oddly, many of the pluggins don't do anything at all in their factory settings.  You would expect people to configure settigns that at least had the plug doing something when you selected it.  It seems like you have to bring up the parameters, with shift+p, and poke at it that way until you get something to happen.

So, I'm still a bit baffled about that preset thing.
Am I doing something wrong here?

  jim:
  firstly, not every plug in has presets already in it, but most of the plug ins that come with reper do.  It's a bit odd, but allot of the time there are two combo boxes, one with just a "default" selection, and one next to that which will have the preset list.
  You have to select "default" in the first combo box before the presets will appear in the second one.
  Try the reaComp or what sounds close to that in the fx window by hitting F, typing in "comp" into the search field, then shift tab back to the list of availible plug ins with comp in their titles.  Once you find the plug in you want to use, hit enter on it, and the settings window will appear.  use tab to navigate through the settings window including preset combo boxes and so on.

  regards
  Colin

    Roy, yep that helps.  I saw that there, but was surprised to always seeing that there are no presets listed.  
    I thought there must be some other place.  But, there aren't any.
