'''Do not overlook tagging, especially if you plan to share your profiles with others.''' This is how you fully document what you have profiled. It also allows much easier searching for profiles via Rig Manager, which looks at ''all'' the available tags in addition to the rig name.
I like to enter all the tags for a new profile immediately after creating the profile in Rig Manager - this is far quicker and easier than using the soft knobs. ''Be sure to press <code>enter</code> after completing a tag, or Rig Manager won't write it to the rig.'' If you are doing a profiling session with most tags exactly the same, be sure to do the tags for the first one before moving on to the rest of the session. New profiles will carry forward the tags from the current rig (in this case the first profile). If you forget, Rig Manager can allow updating tags on multiple rigs simultaneously - select multiple rigs, then edit them as usual.
Don't just fill out the rig section. If you save the amp or cab profiles as presets, they will save their respective tags, so that if you load them on other profiles, you can see the exact details of how the amp/cab was profiled.
Be sure to write whether an amp/cab is studio or merged (or direct). I like to use the amp/cab comments tags for this purpose, so that they will follow the amp/cab as presets.
