Best way to copy settings etc
I've recorded a band which laid down 5 tracks and I've been working hard on one track and got it just how they want it, what's the best way to apply all the settings, pluggings and routing to the other 4 tracks
Cheers

Re: Best way to copy settings etc
What you want is to Import Session Data to your new black session, point to the session that contains the work you have done and want to replicate, and enter the Import dialog window. You will want to import tracks as New Tracks, and check many but not all of the items in the drop-down that pertain to bussing, plugs, possibly sends. Rarely, if ever, will you want to import automation, audio regions, markers, tempo maps, and other listed items will will not be generalizable across you band's 5 songs.
As a mild annoyance, track colors do not import. Import Session Data is very powerful indeed, and has become my substitute for Session Templates. Good luck, John Caldwell

Sure. So will this feature save you loads of time. Just be sure you pay attention to the items you are, and are not, importing.

Re: Best way to copy settings etc
Just a quick piece of advice on this one - I always keep my blank session template on a drive marked as transfer only in workspace, this way it never screws up the disk allocation even if you import everything apart from the main playlist.

Re: Best way to copy settings etc
Hi,
another approach still using import session data which i prefer... Once you've mixed the first song you can save this as a template!! then open the template when you do the next songs then import the tracks into the template. (when you open a template it will first ask you to save it with a new name, which will be your next song etc) when import data into the template all you need to import is the regions and the tempo map and locators, so un-select everything else unless you need them. i save a different template after each mix! so if one sounds better i can recall that one etc. Chris

Re: Best way to copy settings etc
Also its either control+click or alt+click but one of those will let you drag the plugis to another track leaving the original in place. I recommend mixing each track different as different sounds need different settings and when applying new settings its good to zero things out. Thats my preference not like some mixing law.
