Default first use of "MakePreset" not working

So I kept trying to set the first preset to have a gain of 0 (using the gain knob IplugEffect example). However, it seems the preset is immediately overwritten by the default value of that parameter. Default was set to 1.

So my workaround was using:
PHP Code:
MakePreset("init"); 
to just have it make sense to my brains, and not put any values for that preset.

what is the correct way of handling this?

If you are not using chunks, you can do something like this
Code:
MakeDefaultPreset("-", 1); 
MakePresetFromNamedParams("-3 dB", 1, kInGain, -3.00000);
MakePresetFromNamedParams("0 dB", 1, kInGain, 0.000000);
That will give you a default preset and two other ones.

The presets will not be loaded until the user selects them. If you want to make the default value of a control (i.e., the value it starts with when loading), you will want to set it when you initialize the parameter
Code:
GetParam(kInGain)->InitDouble("In Gain", 0.0, -60.0, 20.0, 0.1, "dB");
That would initialize the value to 0.0, regardless of any of the presets.

Old thread, but three things wrong for VST presets, related to the first preset not working, making you add default/init preset to make it seems like it's right:

1) The first preset is overwritten by default settings. Especially annoying since the preset's name isn't changed.

2) Presets are modifiable in memory. Parameter changes are remembered as you move to other presets and back, but forgotten when you reload the plugin.

3) The first preset isn't set at initialization, so the host displays the first preset name, but default settings.

Code:
1. IPlug_include_in_plugsrc.h

was:
  pPlug->EnsureDefaultPreset();
  pPlug->mAEffect.numPrograms = IPMAX(pPlug->mAEffect.numPrograms, 1);

change to:
  if (!pPlug->mAEffect.numPrograms) {
    pPlug->EnsureDefaultPreset();
    pPlug->mAEffect.numPrograms = 1;
  }

2. IPlugVST.cpp

was:
  if (_this->DoesStateChunks() == false)

change to:
  if (_this->DoesStateChunks())

3. IPlugVST.cpp

after this line:
  OnHostIdentified();

add this:
  RestorePreset(0);
