I'm very new to Soundflow so this might be an obvious answer but any help is appreciated. I am trying to create a Macro that will create a new track and populate it with an Audio Effect Rack loaded with a specific preset.
I have successfully added a preset to an Audio Effect using "Load Audio Effect on Selected Track" but it seems to be ok adding .adv files which are single presets for single audio effects but won't add a .adg file which is generally a preset for a group of devices like a rack.
I can also get it to add an Audio Effect Rack to a track but cannot apply the preset.
So it will add the "Comb Filtered Beat" preset to the "Auto Filter" effect but it will not add "Aux Audio" to "Audio Effect Rack"

Thanks for the question! Yes, for loading custom devices like Audio Effect Rack .adg's or things like ".vstpreset" files, you'll want to use the "Load Devices" action in SoundFlow. This is in the Browser subfolder of the Ableton Integration:
You can add a new preset for the "Load Devices" command template and then give it the path to that preset, likely something like this:
"User Library", "Presets", "Audio Effects", "Audio Effect Rack", "Aux Audio.adg"Here's a video example of this as well:

Thank you so much Chad. That has opened open so many options for me for these Macros.
The "Show In Place" option that reveals the true path to the preset was hugely helpful also. That is working perfectly.
