other plug-ins on the track while you are “EQ-ing” it.
12. When the Q-Clone is open, click the Capture button to start receiving
the cloning image from the EQ device. You will see the orange line on
your display graph showing the present EQ curve.
13. Play this track (solo it or play it with the entire session) and start
building your EQ setup by adjusting the parameters (“tweaking” the
knobs) on the hardware EQ device.
14. Once you reach your desired EQ, click on the Hold button to engage
Hold mode.
15. Now there are a few options to choose from:
A. Save your EQ to a new preset file anywhere on your computer

“Save To New File”. This saves a preset file to any desired
directory on your computer.
B. Save your EQ to your Waves Preset Menu - Click the “Save”
button on the Waves menu bar and choose “Put Into Preset Menu
As…” This will allow you to load your new preset anytime you
open the Waves Q-Clone preset menu.
C. Reset – Reset the preset by loading the reset preset file from the
Load menu.
