Channel Strip folder structure

Channel Strips are a great way of having favourite Instruments quickly available, making templates for a project, or saving complex effect/plugin configurations.

As they're so useful, you might find you want quite a few of them , and that's when the menu can get awkward to handle, unless you create folders, eg, "Fave Pads" "Dave's Remix" & so on.

The Logic Pro manual says "please do not attempt to change the Channel Strip Settings folder structure". In terms of keeping the distinctions between Instruments/ Tracks/Busses & Outputs, this makes sense. But surely it should be possible to create your own folders inside these, to organize your settings?

In my User folder (Home/Library/ApplicationSupport/Logic/ChannelStrip Settings) I was able to successfully create some new custom folders, save Channel Strips to them, and have them available in the menu.

This only part-worked, though- after the first 2 folders, no more I created showed up in the menu.

I was also able to create a sub-folder with my folder (Project X>Absynth). Good!

Curiously, once when I created a sub-folder within a folder, the folder didn't show up but the sub-folder did!

I wonder whether there is a system limit at work, just as in exs24 you can only have a maximum 5-layer deep Sampler Instruments folder structure?

Anyway, if anyone can offer any other useful experience on folder structure for Channel Strips, it would be a great help.

Yeah your right! I just tried what you said and I have the same outcome.

What I did was create a folder structure about 6 layers deep and put one .cst in there to check. Im logic the preset appeared but it looked like it was only 2 layers deep....weird. Looks more lika a biug than a feature to me...again!

Waiting for 7.xx or 8
