How to Stop New Tracks from Adding API and Tape Sim?

Every time I add a new track or drag audio into Luna, it adds the damned API Vision and Studer Tape sim.

How do I make it not do that?!? There's nothing in prefs. Grrr.

Uh, I cannot find such a menu choice as "settings!" There are Preferences. There are Timeline Settings. Quantize Settings. Not related.

Please tell me how to find the mythical "settings."

Thank you!

OK I *finally* found it.

For others looking for it, here is how you find it since there is no menu option for Settings in Luna..

Under the LUNA menu, select PREFERENCES.
This takes you to a SETTINGS page.
Select the OPTIONS tab.
On that page, under MISCELLANEOUS, there is a popup menu for ASSIGN DEFAULT EXTENSIONS.
That popup lets you turn this off.

Preferences is getting renamed to ‘Settings’ on the newer versions of macOS in case someone else is confused…

Gee, how can someone possible get confused just because something is not labelled correctly? Way to blame the victim. This is a programming error, not a user error, man.

I wonder why can't specific default extensions be selected.

Not sure what you mean?

That option is right there in Preferences / Options ... "Assign Default Extensions". Whatever you assign from then is the default extension when creating new tracks etc.

When I choose Assign ON no method to assign such as a pop-up menu appears. Currently, I'm working on a Core Audio Notebook. Maybe this only works when using UAD equipment. I'll try later when I get in the studio.

When I go to the + sign to add a track, everything in the new track window is empty. You can pre-select summing, tape, console etc, but I never do.

Assigning Default Extensions
LUNA can assign default LUNA Extensions that you own are that are currently being demoed. For example, LUNA can assign the Oxide Tape plug-in to all tracks, or Neve Summing to all buses and the Main track. When these Extansions are assigned by default, you can change which Extensions are assigned (on a per-session basis) simply by making changes to the Extensions in the New Tracks dialog or the Create Bus dialog.

TO ENABLE OR DISABLE DEFAULT EXTENSIONS:
  1. Open the LUNA Sidebar by clicking the UA diamond logo on the left of the screen, and clicking Settings, or choose LUNA > Preferences from the app menu.
  2. Click Options.
  3. Under Miscellaneous, turn Assign Default Extensions on or off.

So in other words, when Assign Default Extensions is ON, whichever extension(s) were added when creating a track last becomes the default extension(s)? Hmmm...a drop-down when turning ON would be a better way IMHO.

I agree. Extensions take up CPU power, and I need to monitor them carefully.

I had the same issue, and I could not find how to disable it either until somebody pointed me in the right direction.
I'd say UA should have them disabled by default :)

Agree. Have you found that it’s session specific? I find that if I open a session that was last saved before I changed the settings, new tracks revert to API and tape emu.

I haven't done a new session since I found the well-hidden box to uncheck this :)
