Hi @musicullum , while i was fiddling with the wonderful last release i noticed 2 bugs with copy channel order, and i need some clarifications;
First, how does it work? I would like to order all channels in the first song (global stacks, groups, song channel, output channels) then apply the order to the whole project. Do i need to select all channels, right click on one and select apply channel order to all ? Or first i need to copy channel order and then select again apply channel order to all?
Now the bugs:
1 - apply channel order to all only applies to first part of each song, Not all parts.
2 - this is dangerous - selecting all channels with shift+click, then right clicking on empty space after last channel and selecting copy channel order DELETES all’ selected channels !!!
Hi @ciro1983811 ! No, you dont need to select, but there is Still a gui glitc I reported last year…
You need to right click on channel fader area.
If clicking on the “mixer view’s grey filler” area, the Copy channel order command is not executed.
… it depends on what you expect. If the channel order does not “fit” to a part, it cannot be applied. Can you explain (or maybe create a screenshot) about your current channel order? And then the Part-Mixer which is not “working”?
i just want to understand step by step how i can set order for the first part of the first song, then apply in one step the whole mixer channels order to all parts of all songs in the project.
The project is the same you tested against for the global stack not interrupting while changing song. All parts have the same channels (all global stacks, global groups and outs, plus the song channel). Apply order to all after selecting all channels, only applies it to the first part of each song, not the second third etc parts of all the songs in the project. I’ll post a video
Maybe has to do with parts preloaded vs not preloaded? in the video you can see the song previously preloaded (by clicking each part, preaload parts is disabled here) correctly received mixer order for every part, but other songs only received mixer order on first part…
EDIT: no, i checked this way:
Auto preload parts, then
i have two out channels at the end of the mixer that i wanna move, so i move them in the first song then manually right click the first and click apply channel order to all, then the second.
check other songs, no movement in other than first part
retried after manually expanding all songs, selecting all parts, then back on the first song, redo the right click one channel at a time, this time all songs and all parts received the channel order.
Still don’t understand if it works for multiple selection (maybe a context menu voice like " copy all mixer channels order to all songs" should be useful!)
That’s the point … i can’t undertand the Logic of the commands, Apply all channels position to all project is the goal… don’t know if “apply channel order to’ all” command works for the selected channel vs all’ channels !
Okay here is how I do:
If have change ch order is mixer view or willing to modify regarding…
Right click at the “good order”
Copy…
Then step to another song
Apply to all…
It processes all songs
Is it how it supposed to work @Spork or can do it even more simple?
Thats it. Sometimes was not working but can repeat if needed
… Thank you very much for your help and pointing to it, @ciro1983811 and @fkalmus. We’ve finally found the problem of it. If a (saved) Part-Order-State does not know a “global” channel, it will not accept the new order. This can happen if you are working on a Part_XYZ, adding Global Channels (like a Group), re-arrange the order and then apply the order to all parts. But Part_A (for example) was never transferred to the Mixer. Auto Preload will not help her.
Sorry! Please re-try the fix with the next Pre-Release and let us know your results.
@ciro1983811, you don’t need to select all channels to apply the order to all parts. Just select “Apply Channel Order to All” and that’s it.
… not sure. Select “Apply Channel Order to All” and the current Mixer-Ordering will be transferred to all other Parts. If you need the current Mixer-Order in a specific other Part, then select “Copy Channel Order”, select the other Part and execute “Paste Channel Order”.
Supper you’ve found the problem
