Default Re: Venue Tips & Tricks

Here's another feature I find more and more useful as my plug-in racks have kept growing in size...

If you find yourself using multiple instances of the same plug-in (e.g, Drawmer Tourbuss gate across kick, rack toms, floor tom), it's easy to simply add one plug-in to the rack and then copy it to fill other empty rack slots without having to use the plug-in pull down menu.

Here's how:
1) Put the console in Config mode (must be in Config to instantiate a plug-in).
2) Use the plug-in pull-down arrow on the right side of a rack slot to select and instantiate a plug-in.
3) Click and drag the newly instantiated plug-in to an empty rack slot.
4) Release the mouse button and a menu appears. Choose "Copy Plug-In Here" from the menu.
5) Repeat!

If you're particular about the order plug-ins appear in the racks a similar method can be used to quickly re-arrange things. While in Config mode, click and drag a plug-in to its new destination and choose the "Move Plug-In here" option instead of "Copy...". Plug-in settings and routing are preserved.
