Presets and sharing

A Preset is a saved setup: which Meters you see, how they're arranged, their settings and their Theme. Changes save on their own a moment after you make them; Revert Preset goes back to how the Preset was when you opened it.

• Switch Presets from the Presets menu, or with ⌘1–⌘9 (Ctrl on Windows) for the first nine.

• Save as New Preset keeps the current setup under a new name.

• The built-in Presets can be reset to how they came. Each comes with its own Theme, of the same name:

  • Producing Top-Bar 1.0: a Bar along the top edge with Waveform, Spectrogram, Stereometer and a Mid/Side Spectrum.
  • Mixing/Producing 1.0: Spectrum and Stereo Bands on top; Waveform, Loudness Meter and Stereometer below.
  • Mastering 1.0: Spectrum over Tonal Balance; Stereo Bands, Waveform, Loudness Meter and Stereometer below.

  An update that brings new built-ins adds them once, at the end of the list. Copies of an earlier version's built-ins stay in the list as your own Presets.

Presets are files in the presets folder:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Das-Meter/presets
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Das-Meter\presets
• Linux: ~/.config/das-meter/presets

Sharing

Export Preset… saves the current Preset as one .dasmeter-preset file, with its Theme inside. Send it to someone; they open it with Import Preset…, by dropping it on Das-Meter or, on macOS, by double-clicking it.

A shared Preset leaves out what's personal to your setup, such as which monitor serial number a window was on.
