I know there is a way to reset my Acid Pro 3.0 so that the EQ comes back on every track when pressing the FX button?

When I press it now it comes up with a list of all my plug ins and the sonic foundry one isn't listed?

How do i reset Acid so that this comes up as default on every track?

Peter once helped me with an issue by explaining how to reset the prefs. cant remember but its (maybe) holding shift when launching acid. sorry if thats not the exact procedure.

Hold down Shift and Ctrl together while starting up ACID will reset it to "factory install state".

Note that this changes *EVERYTHING*, even the stuff that you've changed that is working the way you like it, so those things will have to be customized again.

Ok thanks, so it resets like maybe a brand new formatted install of my PC?

Ive installed Acid a few times like this and can easily reset my preferences if its the same as that?

Just done the reset and start, and still on a track, the EQ doesn't launch??

I'm sure theres a way to reset this back? no so bothered about the default gate and compressor on each channel, but the EQ was handy

Are you saying that the EQ isn't listed as a default effect and you'd like it to be one? Or are you saying that when you open the plugin chainer window you're not able to add EQ?

Both.

When I click that plug in button on a track in Acid a list comes up and to be honest i cannot see the default Acid EQ after clicking a few sonic foundry ones.

It did used to be that i clicked that plug in button and the eq would spring up, but now for some reason it isnt? I havent changed or deleted any settings?

Set up a track with the FX you want as default.

Then Right-click the track header and select "Set Default Track Properties". Make sure 'Track FX' is selected, and 'OK".

Subsequently all new inserted tracks should come up with the same default FX on them.

Geoff, that doesn't exist in v3.0 I'm afraid..

I only have default track height...?

Maybe a re-install is needed???

Ok so I re-installed and reset the few preferences pretty quickly, and toolbar.

But now the Track EQ is back, but its ON by default on every track?

I'm sure the track fx button was greyed out and when clicking, the Track EQ would pop up on the tracks i needed some EQ.

But now every track launches with the Track FX button GREEN and ON with EQ?

Whats happened?

How can I get this to be off like before, and only launch the track EQ default when i need it?

Yes, it is 'On' by default, but with totally neutral settings.

"How can I get this to be off like before, and only launch the track EQ default when i need it?"

Um, isn't that what you had before !!! To change default setting there may be something in the manual, available here:

Can't remember A3, but it is possible you can't set custom default Track FX. If not, it would have been the right-click track header thing.
