Saving changes in a user preset

Stylish Yew · 2025-08-05T23:53:31+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Following instructions from GR7 user manual page 27, I click the save preset button. When i select a different preset and navigate back to my saved preset, all the setting have reverted back to before I clicked save preset. Also when I leave GR7 and re-open it, changes are lost. It appears that I can not save changes to a preset without renaming it completely. This is a problem for me. Not how I am accustomed to working with preset files. In GR7 I must continually create new iterations of the same preset, each with a unique name? Just to update a few level or EQ changes? I must be missing something quite simple here. I sometimes overlook the simple answers. Help

It seems to work here. This is my workflow - pick a factory preset (Tight & Chunky to test), change something then save it. I get the "Save As" dialog initially so I save it as Tight & Chunky MJB. If I close GR, reopen it and load that preset I see the changes. If I change something else, save it then close/reopen GR and reload the preset again the recent changes have stuck.

Not sure what I'm doing different to you? As long as you're loading/saving the user preset you created and not a factory preset it should just work.

Okay. I get that. So, for sure, I at least have to change the name of the preset once to create a new preset that I can then save changes to whenever I want. Correct?

Sadly, this is going to turn into a lot of extra copies of presets. I have many older version to import that have mismatched output levels. In my perfect world, I would import them all at once, make changes as needed and keep on rolling. As it stands now, I have to import presets one at a time, rename and save as a new preset. Now I have two versions of the same preset with minor changes, or I have to delete the original (extra step). Not impossible or convenient. Oh well.
