Plugins already have default settings, but this feature isn’t in all of them. If it’s there, you’ll see it in the menus; if not, a feature request isn’t the place to find out. What I’m curious about is why a simple, useful feature isn’t being added, and instead, a workaround is being suggested, even by a developer?
-
There's been a lot of irrelevant and unnecessary discussion here: I’m simplifying it as much as possible: Make the ProChannel Presets' 'Set Modules as Defaults for Tracks' command save FX Chains as well. This isn’t just about stock plugins because there are non-stock plugins in ProChannel too. All you need to do is allow saving other plugins as well.

Default Audio FX Plug-ins on New Audio and Instrument Tracks

Default Audio FX Plug-ins on New Audio and Instrument Tracks
murat k. replied to murat k.'s topic in Feedback Loop
This is a feature for any user who prefers plugins other than stock plugins. The term 'crazy personal features' doesn’t belong here. Stability is an issue for developers to resolve; it is not something that gets broken by newly added features. I am a Cakewalk user. I just know that a better Cakewalk experience is possible, and I am sharing my requests, despite a community being in the way of progress. Finding Cakewalk complex simply means you’re not using many of its features; in fact, it has a lot of deficiencies. 'Stability' and 'One Click does the trick' are neither opposing nor separate concepts. You cannot vote on something that doesn’t exist. -

By the way, since track templates were mentioned even though they are completely unrelated to the topic, I wanted to remind you that track templates need this feature: The nice thing about this request is that it hasn't been polluted by an unrelated workaround or people defending it. -

This is Feedback Loop, where we have the chance to shape the software based on what we request. Instead of suggesting a workaround for the current situation, the community should work on improving the request. For example, someone could say: 'This feature could be applied to either all Instrument or Audio Tracks, or it could be Instrument Track specific.In this way, we could have a single default preset for all new tracks, along with individual instrument-specific presets.' Such comments should be made in feature request topics. But instead, I'm dealing with people who don’t even understand what I’m asking for, or who have accepted being stuck with inefficient workarounds, while expecting others to do the same. -

I’m suggesting that we could solve the problem with just one click, but you’re defending a scenario that’s worse than what I currently have to do. On top of that, you’re giving me a lesson in sense. What makes sense is to support someone when they point out an issue in the program’s design and request a solution, not to give irrelevant advice or defend suggestions that you think are related. -

Sounds like you didn't get the idea. And these ones for sure: @pwallie@OutrageProductions Let’s say I did what you suggested. To create a new Instrument Track with my desired preset, I’d need to make separate Track Templates for each one and call them every time. If I want to make changes, I’d have to update each one individually. This clearly has nothing to do with Track Templates. Suggesting ProChannel Presets, which is the more practical option, would have made more sense, but with this request being fulfilled, you’ll be able to load your desired plugin as default without even needing that. The simplest thing developers could do in this case is to allow FX Chains saved in ProChannel to be recalled using the 'Set Modules as Default for Tracks' command. And, of course, to ignore the words of status quo defenders who stand in the way of progress. -
I often avoid loading new plug-ins unless necessary, so I’ve relied on the ProChannel’s "Set Modules as Default for Tracks" feature with stock plug-ins. However, recent advancements in plug-ins have made me realize there are certain ones, like FabFilter Pro-Q 4, that I’d prefer to use on every Audio and Instrument Track. The Instance List feature of Pro-Q 4 is particularly useful, and Cakewalk could have implemented a similar functionality in its stock EQ as requested: Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened, and I no longer expect it to. Besides, Pro-Q 4 offers much more than the Instance List feature. To save time, it would be great if we could set specific plug-ins or FX Chains to load automatically on new tracks. Alternatively, the "Set Modules as Default for Tracks" feature could be expanded to include FX Chain Presets. This would make workflows much smoother and eliminate the need to manually load the same plug-ins on every track.

And please take this warning into consideration:
-
• Fixed: [Regression] CTRL + LEFT button click/drag no longer adjusts clip gain Great. Up next: implementing quick grouping for clip gain with CTRL + LEFT button.

The issue I mentioned here persists: When MFX plugin names are displayed in the FX Bin, their 'Friendly Name' appears. However, just like Audio FX plugins, their 'Display Name' should be shown instead.

I encountered this issue in the previous version as well, but I didn’t report hoping it might have been fixed in the new version. However, in the Step Sequencer at 75% Display Scale, we still face this: The gap decreases as it approaches 100%. There's no issue with Display Scales above 100%
