STEP 2: Next, hit “key command” and type in the name of the plugin or instrument you would like to add. In this example, we are using the default compressor built into Ableton. If the name of the plugin or instrument is more than one word you must add a key command for the space between words. In the example, you can see there is a delay time of 1000ms. This is necessary for the Batch Command to work properly. Depending on the speed of your computer and hard drive, you may need to increase the delay time to give the computer enough time to search for the insert.

STEP 3: Hit “key command” and input “cursor down.” This will select the first plugin in the results field of Ableton. It is helpful to have a shorter delay time on that command, 500ms works well. Hit “key command” again and add a return or enter. This command will select the highlighted item in the results field and load it onto the selected track.
