where are my UA plug in presets?

[Kerochan]

Hi, I am relatively new to Pro Tools.
My UA plug ins show up in Pro Tools, but no presets!

However, all the presets show up on mu UA interface console for recording purposes.

I need the presets in Pro Tools for mixing.

Many thanks

I have a better idea...use your ears for mixing and leave the presets for folks that like to color by number I'm not trying to be snide or condescending at all here. Its just that presets can't take into account what the source sound is. As an example, a bass drum preset for EQ may have been created with a track that was done with a 22" drum, with Evans heads, no muffling a felt beater and a condenser mic, while your kick track may have been done with a 20" drum, Remo heads with a plastic beater, a blanket and a dynamic mic. I certainly understand that presets can be a learning tool(and I do hope you find where they went), but instead of that, I suggest watching some tutorial videos so you can see WHY things get tweaked(which is way more valuable) The only presets I use are those that I saved

Thank you albee
I actually found the presets finally, I take your point, but for quick mixes its easier to use the presets, but you do have a valid point!
