CREATING ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIO PRESETS FOR MIDI PLAYBACK
You can create your own EA presets to suit your musical needs. This tutorial will create an EA preset for midi playback with reverb.
The default EA settings normally have a 'Global' effect, this is why you hear the effects on everything you playback.
Open 'Audio HQ/Environmental Audio'. Select an Environment (for this tutorial we will use 'Cave').
Click on the 'Source' tab and change all the settings to 0% except for 'Original Sound' which you can leave at 100%
Click on the 'Master' tab and make sure 'Original Sound' is set to 100%. Now set the amount of 'Reverb' you want to use for this preset (we are going to use 30%).
Now when you playback any Windows media file wav, Mp3, CD etc. there will be no effect. These effect settings will now work in a sequencer on midi data but not globally as before on all Windows media.
You can now highlight the Environment you have altered and give it your own unique name to save in the presets.
You will notice that when you highlight the preset name the 'Save' icon is still greyed out until you type a new preset name.
You can now repeat this procedure as many times as you like creating new presets with different settings for different sound environments you work in.
