Factory and Custom Presets

The preset manager windows are divided into two tabs:

• iZotope: lists all factory presets installed with Ozone 9 Elements.
• Custom: lists all custom presets you have saved or modified in Ozone 9 Elements.

Default and Working Settings

There are two common options that are always available at the top of the preset list in the iZotope and Custom tabs, named Working Settings and Default.

• Working Settings: Loads your most recent changes that are not otherwise associated with a preset.
• Default: Loads the factory default settings.

Custom Default Preset

You can override the factory <Default> preset by selecting any preset as your custom default.
