Track Presets in Pro Tools 10

[Gary-Leahy]

STILL NO TRACK PRESET.
c:\ DOCUMENTS\AVID\TRACK PRESETS\VOX\VOX.PTXT (Sub Folder)

It saves it as session file not a track preset

VERY FRUSTRATING

THIS IS IN PRO TOOLS 10.3.7

Great, you're welcome.
I assume you used the "Save As Template..." feature, have you tried "Export/Selected Tracks as New Session…" in PT 10? You then must change the extension from "ptx" to "ptxt" manually.

Hi Oliver

Sorry about the delay response. Being on the other side of the world here in
Australia.

And yes in Pt 11, I did use " Save as Template"

I will give your sugestion a go in PT10. Tonight OZ Time.

I will keep you posted.

Track Presets Fantastic

Just to clarify

this "hack" can also be applied in protools 8 og 9

""If you are on 8 or 9, then here’s how to do it…
1) Go to Applications > Avid > Pro Tools (or Digidesign > Pro Tools for v8 or 9). Here, create a folder titled “Track Presets”. I also recommend creating folders within “Track Presets” for different categories (ex: Submix Masters, Reverbs, etc) although you can do that later on.
2) Create and configure tracks (including inputs, outputs, names, sends, volume, pan, plug-ins, etc) as desired.
3) From the File menu, choose Save As Template.
4) Choose “Select Location for template”
5) Navigate to a folder within the Track Presets folder (or create a new folder in Track Presets) or just save anywhere then move the template(s) to these folders later.

Once your templates are saved to folders within the “Track Presets” folder, they will appear as options in the New Track dialog below the normal track types (audio track, aux input track, etc). You can still use Command + Down/Up to switch through these and Option Command Down/Up will switch between multiples in your sub-folders.

What exactly do you mean it's not working for you? You can't create them or you can create them but PT11 doesn't see them? The track presets folder for PT11 on a Mac is in a folder off your Mac username home folder.

No problem; it confused me at first as well.
