Pro Tools Quick Start for PC
By TOM BOWSER
I create a "favorites" list for the plugins I routinely use. I find it helps me work faster, more efficiently and with less distraction. It reduces the time spent looking for plugins.
Your favorite plugins will show at the top of the Plug-In selector pop-up menu. Favorites will appear bold and colored yellow when seen in plug-in menus.
To create a plugin favorites list:
- Press and hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard.
- Left click on an insert of a track. An insert looks like a blank rectangular space with a black dot on the left hand side. I've drawn a red line around an insert in the image below.
- Hover your mouse cursor over the word "plug-in" on the menu that appears.
- Left click on a plugin you want to add to your favorites list. Remember, you need to hold down the CTRL key.
The "TENS (mono)" reverb plug-in was added as a favorite to the top of my plugins list. (see image below)
