I tell you what I do usually. If you find a better way, let me know. 😉
1) Build the plugin database only once with Rebuild and load plugin database on the Create New Project page. This command creates a global database can be used in all projects. At this point, for all new projects, just select Load plugin database. In this way, you’ll use always the plugin in the global database you have created.
If for some project you need to add more plugins, you can use Import plugin… or Import plugin for folder… from the Devices menu in the Project Start Page. The new plugin will only be added to that project and not to the main database.
If you need to heavily modify the global database by adding dozens of new plug-ins, you should rebuild it again with Rebuild and load plugin database. If you maintain the old database folders structure, the old projects will be able to find the new plugins when you select Load plugin database.
2) The following method can be applied to a single track or to the master track to export a multitrack bounce file:
– Right click on the bounce slot and select Hide Track Lane;
– Double click on the audio bounce to open it in the editor;
– Select the part you want to export and then select Export Selection to Sound File… from File menù.
3) It’s hidden.
