Tracktion Manual
Chapter 7 - Miscellaneous
Setting disk cache size
Tracktion allocates an amount of memory for caching audio data from disk. The 'miscellaneous' section of the settings screen contains an option to change this size, and the bigger it is, the more efficient the disk access will be (as long as your PC has enough memory to handle this). For most purposes, the automatic values should be fine.
Temporary disk space issues
Tracktion needs temporary disk space to hold thumbnails, frozen track files, and other intermediate files. By default it tries to create a temporary directory in the same directory as the Tracktion executable. If you want to use a different disk or directory for this, it can be changed on the 'miscellaneous' section of the settings screen.
VST Plugin search paths
On the the settings screen there's a 'plugins' section, which contains a list of paths in which Tracktion will look for VST plugins, and a button to re-scan the paths if you change them. It also has a section for listing files that are ignored, so that troublesome or unwanted plugins can be excluded without needing to delete the actual dll's from disk.
User Settings
Various global settings are treated as 'user settings' - meaning that they can be imported and exported in a user-preferences file. The kind of items in the user settings include:
- shortcut key mappings
- filter presets
- various user-interface presets
To import and export them as a .trksettings file, use the options in the 'miscellaneous' section of the settings screen.
