I always used track presets anyway, but wheres the difference?
If both only save insert effects, why having both?

track presets save more than inserted effekts

Track presets don’t save send effects, routing, panning or volume. So how do they differ then if we let alone instruments?

Maybe someone has an answer for that over a year later?

FX Chain Presets are only for the Inserts.
Track Presets are Channel Strip + EQ + Inserts + Track Color.

Track color as well? Have to try that out.
Unfortunately sends are not included…

Volume and panning neither.

Would be nice if you could choose what is included and what not?

Of course !
It’s a big mess and with a big logic problem in any case regarding the track presets. Everything should be rethought much more simply with the choice of routing etc.

This was an older thread. So what is your goal?

Track presets save the channel strip, the EQ, and the inserts chain, gain and phase switch.

maybe Steinberg can kind of merge everything together?

so when you load an instr trackpreset WHILE on an audio track it only loads the FX, Color, and anything else that is compatible?

Right now there is midiloop, chain fx, import track, trackpreset-for-instr-audio-etc

I personally still use chain fx and midiloop the most because it saves a reference melody…
After that i use track export the most since it just exports freaking everything inc automation etc
I tried trackpresets many times but the incompatibillity between audio and instrument makes it hard to use for me.

I think Track Presets are most useful when adding VSTi tracks. I get the instrument as saved, plugins, sends, panning, and even routing, if the groups exist.
I use FX presets just for inserts.

I would call this flexibility.
