Getting Our Presets Set Let’s start by opening Audacity and go to Tracks Add New Audio Track. We’re only creating it so that we can edit some options that we can’t get to without a project loaded. Go to Generate Silence. The static text field displaying the loaded user preset name would be part of Audacity's 'addition' to AU, VST, LADSPA and LV2 effects. In my brief investigation of user presets it appears that the current system for saving and loading user presets for third-party effects is robust. Audacity Preferences are stored in a configuration file called audacity.cfg. It is a text file which saves all your settings when you exit Audacity normally. The audacity.cfg file can be edited with any text editor and changes to it can be saved if Audacity is already closed. In a noisier situation, try a higher number like 35 or 40 dB.It’s good practice to keep this number as low as possible, because Audacity attempts to remove noise from the entire track, including spoken sections. The higher the number, the more likely it will be that Audacity will reduce non-noise sounds- like speaking- from your content.
Lets you choose from presets that you have already saved in Audacity (see below). In the image above, this option is grayed out because no user presets have yet been saved.
After you have made adjustments to the settings for the tool, you can use this option to save these settings for later use. When you name the preset you may choose the name of an existing preset and thus update it.
Deletes any user preset that you may previously have saved. In the image above this option is grayed out because no user presets have yet been saved.
The 'Defaults' Factory Preset lets you reset the effect to default settings. For most built-in effects and all plugins shipped with Audacity, 'Defaults' is the only available Factory Preset. Third-party plug-ins may offer multiple named factory presets which you can choose from.
Imports presets which you have exported using the Export option (below) on this or other machines or which you have exported from other software that supports a compatible preset. Available only for VST and Audio Unit (Mac) effects.
Exports presets for use in Audacity on other machines or for use in other software that supports import of a compatible preset. Available only for VST and Audio Unit (Mac) effects.
All plug-ins (except Nyquist) have per-effect options accessed by this menu for one or more of Latency Compensation, Graphical Mode or Buffer Size. If there are no options available (as in the Normalize image above) then this menu item will be grayed out.
Selecting 'About' from the button displays an information dialog for the tool.
