Preset Root and Session Folders
The pop-up menu to the upper right corner of
each browser lets you choose if you see the part
presets of the root or the session folder. With a
new session, only the root folder shows folders
and presets. The session folder is empty by de-
fault. You can stay within the root folder or you
can change to the session folder to save and
manage your own set of presets.

folder of your Pro Tools system. This is the

You can save your own set of presets along
with these.
• Session—Use this option to manage your
own set of presets with each session sepa-
rately. By default, the session folder is
empty with each new session.
