Track defaults

Post by phazed » Fri May 07, 2010 8:09 pm

I think the concept of having track defaults would fit perfectly into Live.

Like having defaults for instruments/fx in the Library/Defaults folder, please make the same possible for tracks - separated into Audio and MIDI track (and maybe return). Then, these settings should be used whenever you create a new track.

The benefits:

1. You can setup your favourite fx chains as default. One may want to have eq/comp always available instantly or use saturation/limiter on each track.

2. You could always get instant sound with your preferred synth by clicking cmd-shift-T

3. You could always have your tracks input set to "No Input" or something else on new audio tracks.

I know that similar functionality is yet given by dragging als files from the browser into the current set, but I want to have it accessible via the usual key commands.

Gotta bump this! This is a very useful feature that I would love to see added. And if at all possible, let it apply to grouped tracks as well.

Yes, give us "Save Track Setup as default", please!
My English is not perfect, I know... Sorry about that.

Greetings from Germany!

P.S. to wishlist forum users: Please search for former requests. Otherwise they will be splitted into many small ones and we are loosing impact!!!

I would LOVE to see this feature added to Live – just spent extensive time searching and was surprised to find out there's no way to do it currently.

In Live 9 you can save any audio or midi track as a default. Then any new audio or midi track you create, has that stuff on it.
