Hey there.. just a few Q's

..Im currently setting up a workflow for myself..

Got a template set up - sweet..
All my MIDI gear is synced - finaly..
and now.. one of the last things on my list is Custom pre-set tracks... I havnt found anything on this yet.. but its something im really needing..

I Want a folder with tracks with pre-set parameters.. Im sweet with the whole making a folder, dragging the track into the folder, then drag it out.. thats cool.. but I want stuff like my sends to be turned up by default.. stuff like this.. pre-set Audio Ins etc... I thought a sneeky way around this not working would be is to automate my return going from 0 to full at the very start, but even automation info isnt saved?

any ideas what I can do about this? This is one of the last steps in my 'perfect low-budget setup'

cheers

Hi,

Create the tracks you need to save. Then drag them by their title bars (the bit with their name) into the file browser and voila! When you need them again you can simply drag them straight back into the set you are working on. The tracks will happily save all panning, volume and effects that are setup on it

Hope that helps!

^ helps me
I was just getting tired of setting up "the same track" multiple times last night. Never occurred to me that I could save the track itself as a preset.

^^ thanks for asking

you gotta grab those ideas quick when your bass player is a pilled out drunken mess and asking him to play something over results in a train wreck of duh...

You've gotta love working with musicians

No doubt

all the twisting of knobs and loading of VSTs or effects, mixing, arranging, scrubbing, looping, doesn't make me feel like a producer... I feel like there is so much more to learn and so many people who know way more...

capturing audio from someone who did want to record, but doesn't want to record it now, all of a sudden when you mention it, because they can practice it a little more and try later, all the while knowing they won't even remember being there in the morning, then getting a sick bassline/audio take anyway, when they least suspect it, impressing even them, that's producing something!

your little trick above will save me that desperate twisted face mad clicking, oh yeah let me set the channel, whoops forgot the jelly on top rush fest mad dash...
i really like that
