That was EXACTLY my reasoning. Oh well...
Not exactly what you are discussing--having pre-existing presets, but: As Gilles pointed out in another thread, remember that you do not have to manually recreate a mic setup. Once you arrange the mics in a way that you like, you can save the settings and reuse them on a different instrument:
1. Create the desired setup in the mics page.
2. Exit the mics page.
3. Click on the Sound Recording button and click on Save as...
4. The presets you save will then appear on the drop-down that appears when you click the Sound Recording button and on the Preset Management page.
5. When you open a new instrument, apply the mic preset, and probably change the mic settings slightly, you must of course remember to save the new mic preset with a new name and\or save the instrument fxp, which will include the mic fxp, if you like the sound so much that you know that you will use it often with that instrument.
But yeah, predesigned setups would be nice. I can see that they might have taken weeks to create, however, since each instrument would have to have its own set. Say at least 3 setups per instrument, with over ten instruments, including the Kremsegg collections, with each setup adjusted because of the realities of each piano, and the release might have delayed another month? At least we can create our own and share them. I think. Can we upload mic fxp's to the "Other files" page?
