Add Plug-ins To The Favorites List

Pro Tools Quick Start for PC

By TOM BOWSER

I create a "favorites" list for the plug-ins I routinely use. I find it helps me work faster, more efficiently and with less distraction. It reduces the time spent looking for plug-ins.

Your favorite plug-ins 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 plug-in favorites list:

1. Press and hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard.
2. 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.

3. Hover your mouse cursor over the word "plug-in" on the menu that appears.

4. Left click on a plug-in you want to add to your favorites list. Remember, you need to be holding down the CTRL key.

The "TENS (mono)" reverb plug-in was added as a favorite to the top of my plug-ins list. (see image below)
