Im really wanting to find some things out on ProChannel in general but with all the newness going on upstairs Im afraid it will get lost in cyberspace  


Are you using the ProChannel with Presets?


I decided to make life easier for the way I mix by using ProChannel Presets for the first time. (Uh Oh)
I started with a project I already have all the tracks for/recorded


Heres the situation at this point
In Track View I expanded the PC's and assigned/loaded presets for AC Guitars & Vocals (On the Tracks) just to feel things out.
On the busses I left all FX and PC blank except for the bass which I loaded the preset for Fingered Bass

When I check the settings (lets say AC guitars, 8 tracks, same presets on all) the EQ might setup for the preset on one but not the other. Sometimes the Compressor, EQ, or Tube might be on or might not. Sometimes the On/Off for the entire PC might be on or off.

When I play and SOLO the bass buss, I see the compressors intermittently working on the guitar tracks.

Im not sure if its PC or something I could have done to create this just loading presets. There was no copy/pasting, all loaded individually on each track or buss.

Any ideas or is it best to not use ProChannel in a Preset kind of method of mixing?

Thanks

ADDED  I did however create a Preset for Acoustic Guitar, Saved it as ACG1, and when loaded onto other tracks, all settings go as they should.

the presets are not always going to work for your particular tracks.  I use them as starting points but never leave them like they are.

creating your own presets can help with your sound, especially if you're using the same acoustic guitar, recorded the same way and you want the sound to be similar in each song.

Hey Reece, 
Was just thinking of ya and how the Mrs was doing with her migraines.

As far as the presets, I was hoping to get to a ballpark estimate kinda-setting as a starting point then adjust out as necessary from there. 

Its like I am not doing something right, my software didnt do correctly, or ???
I used guitar tracks as an example loading nothing but the same AC Guitar Preset that came with X1. Seems that even though I have 6 identical tracks and setups loaded, there are different things happening from the get-go without having done anything other than loading the tracks in preparation.
Weird

Never used them. Where are they anyway?

 I believe thats the way Im going too!!!  Was better with out them. Heck of an idea though

As 'Beagle' says.... they are a good STARTING point! 

Adjust to your liking from there! 

They may not work for every song, instrument, or VOX; but maybe just the place to start.

I am sure that these presets may not be for everyone... but that's the nice part! use them as you need them.

The starting point is my prob Del  LOL


I would like to use them BUT


Lets say you have a baseline Preset you like to use for a particular type of instrument and plan on repeating the recording of that and setting up the track multiple times on different recordings sessions. Each project you might want to insert that preset a few time or more on different tracks or busses.


NOW each time you do an insert you might get the compressor or EQ on OR it might not be on. The EQ settings you saved sometimes load and sometimes they dont. Its just eratic from what is Saved as a Preset ready to load on PC-compared to what actually loads when you select it.


I like the idea of the presets and dont believe I have a problem using PC setting it up everytime I use it manually, the same Preset loading differently and unreliably is kind of annoying. I like the idea of Saving something, Loadin it back up somewhere and knowing it is what I have set up already and not something else completely.


Is that clearer    Sorry for the confusion, its the backwoods coming out in me  

Digi- Lol. No, really, i've never used them. Where are they? Lol.

Id need to post a screen shot but not able to at the moment.

If you look in the upper portion of PC, you can see a bar with a File Folder, Save Icon, 

Hover over it and I believe they pop up. When you select it, it will take you in to presets.

Ill have to check but I believe thats it

The idea of having things preset and ready for some small adjustments with the prefered components abled/disabled is a great thing to save time.

Id just expect that if I load one for a guitar labeled lets say "ACG", everytime I load that, all the saved settings and components will load the same each time
