A Channel Strip preset is a chain of plug-ins within a single input channel in Console. All parameter settings within those plug-ins are saved as a “.uadchannel” file so that the channel strip preset can be recalled into either the same or a different input channel in the future.

This article walks you through how to import and load a channel strip preset in Console.

Importing a Channel Strip Preset

Move the ".uadchannel" file to the appropriate location listed below:

macOS:

Note: To access the Library folder, open Finder and click Go in the top menu bar, then select Computer. Click on your start up disk, then select Library.
