Start a source from a preset

Give a source a ready chain of steps with Start From, keep your own with Save as Preset…, and use a step's own presets.

Set up a source in one click, from Live Producer’s presets or one of your own. See Processing.

  • Open the show and Window › Audio Routing (⌥⌘A).

Open the source’s Add Step menu (the + on its processing half). Under Start From, choose a preset: Lav Mic, Handheld Mic, Room Mic, Remote Guest or one of yours. Hold the pointer over a preset to see its steps. The menu bar has the same under Audio › Start From for the selected source.

The preset replaces the source’s steps, as one undo. With a venue in use, As at with the venue’s name comes first for a source whose steps the venue kept.

Click a step’s row to open its window. Its Preset menu in the toolbar has the step’s own presets; Default puts every setting back. The menu says Custom once you change a setting.

Step Its presets
Clean Voice Default, Lav Mic, Noisy Room
Equalizer Default, Voice Clarity, Warm, Telephone
Compressor Default, Gentle, Voice, Firm

When a source sounds right, choose Save as Preset… in its Add Step menu (or Audio › Save as Preset…). Type a name and click Save. A name already in use is replaced: the button says Replace. Your presets are listed under Start From after Live Producer’s.

To remove one, choose Delete Preset in the same menu.

  • The source’s processing half lists the preset’s steps.
  • Your preset appears under Start From on every source and in other shows.
