Can I change the default audio plug-ins?
Vegas loads the same 3 plug-ins on every audio track (Noise Gate, Track EQ, Track Compressor). I’ve always wondered if I could customize the list of default plug-ins. I know you can save a list of plug-ins as an “FX Package”, and easily call them up using the plug-in chooser, but I’d rather modify the default list so that the plug-ins I want come up on every audio track, without any extra steps.
I’ve always wondered if this was even possible. Then earlier today, I did something by accident that resulted in me adding a fourth plug-in to the default list. All I was trying to do was add the plug-in to a single track, but somehow it’s now become one of the default plug-ins. So now every audio track I add has four plug-ins. I have no idea how this happened, and I don’t actually want this particular plug-in to be on every audio track. But the point is, I *did* add it, and now it comes up on every audio track. This seems to suggest that the default list is customizable.
So my question is – how do I take control of the default plug-ins, so that every audio track I add to a project automatically loads the plugs-ins I want, rather than the ones that Sony gives me by default?

Not in front of a V box at the moment but from memory go to the audio track header, click on the Track FX plugin button and then add the plugins you want. Next delete the ones you don’t want and then close out of the audio plugin dialogue box. Now right click on the audio track header and from the drop down menu select ‘Set Default Track Properties’. From memory every time you add new audio tracks they will come with your new plugins choice.
