Saving Mixer presets
Using the Save Mixer... function on the Control bar Save menu shows a system
Save dialog allowing you to save the current mixer to any location.
Save location
When you save your own Mixer presets, you are prompted by default to save
them in the user level BFD2 folder as follows:
<user location>/Mixers
We recommend that you save your kits into this folder in order for them to be
visible in the mixer preset chooser panel and the mixer preset panel in the Utility
panel.
Wherever you save the mixer, it is added to the BFD2 database and shown in
the panels used to load mixers. It is very important to remember, however, that if
it is removed from the database and you trash and rebuild your database, items
not saved in the recommended user location are not re-scanned.

Varying channels between mixer presets
When loading a new mixer preset, only settings relevant to the current kit are applied.
If any direct channels exist in a mixer preset for kit-piece slots that are currently empty, they are shown on the mixer but are
shown in an ‘unused state’ – the coloured tab at the top of the channel is grey, and no kit-piece photo is shown.
Once a kit-piece is loaded into the slot, it becomes active again. The kit-piece quick-load controls in the Utility panel’s kit-piece
inspector provide an easy way of doing this without needing to switch back to the Kit page. You can also double-click the channel
to bring up the kit-piece chooser panel for the kit-piece’s slot.
If a kit-piece in the current kit has had its ambience channels re-routed to aux channels, these settings are reset if aux channels
with the same name do not exist in the new preset. Note that even if the required aux channels do exist in the new preset, they
may have been set up for a different purpose, so you may hear strange results.
Custom ambience sends are an advanced mixing function provided for versatility, so it is recommended that you only use them
only if you know exactly what you want to achieve without needing to load mixer presets. If you use them a lot when making your
own presets, it is a good idea to formulate a consistent channel naming scheme when creating custom ambience routings – for
example, ‘Kick OH’, ‘Snare OH+Rm’ and so on.
