sorry! And as you would expect, for more info on the Pro Tools ‘Settings Librarian’,

please read the Pro Tools manual, etc.

Saving a Preset

Saving a preset is just as simple. Click on the small button to the left of the preset

name and choose ‘Save’ to update the current preset, or ‘Save As’ to create a new

preset.

Compare Button

The compare button (often called the compare ‘light’ by Pro Tools pros) is a great

way to audition the effect of any changes you’ve made to one of the PhaseMistress

presets. As soon as you change any parameter in PhaseMistress, the compare light

will come on. Click on the compare light to toggle between the original preset and

your current changes.

Bypass

One of the more useful features on any plug-in is the Bypass button. Click on this to

bypass the effect of PhaseMistress. This also recovers any CPU cycles being used by

PhaseMistress.

Using Parameter Automation

Many of the controls in PhaseMistress can be automated. Click on the ‘auto’ button

to bring up the Plug-In Automation window. At the left is a list of parameter available

for automation. On the right are any of the parameters that are currently automated.

Select whichever parameter or parameters you’d like to automate then click on the

‘Add’ button. Those parameters will appear on the right side of the window, and can

now be automated from within Pro Tools.
