Saving track presets

Cubase
1

Hi, I’m trying to implement a process that I don’t know if it’s possible. To process vocals, I’ve created several group and FX tracks where I’ve inserted plugins with their respective routings. I’d like to save this entire process in a single preset to use in other projects. I’ve tried saving it as a track preset, selecting all the tracks I want to use, but when I try to load it into another project, I can’t find it, and even if I do, I don’t know if what I’ve mentioned is possible.

Thank you.

Hi,

You have three options:
A:

  • Open MixConsole.
  • Select all the Channels
  • Functions menu > Save Selected Channels…
  • Save the *.vmx file.
  • In the other project, add the given channels (in the same order).
  • Select the Channels
  • MixConsole > Functions menu > Load Selected Channels…

B:

  • Make your “template” project (don’t save it as a template, save it as a common project).
  • In the new project, File > Import from Project…
  • Import the tracks from your “template” project.

C:

  • Create your template project, which should include only the Group and FX channels.
  • Save this as a real Project Template (File > Save as Template…)
  • Create a new project from your template.
  • File > Import from Project…
  • Import the Audio tracks from the other project.

Try which way fits the best for you. I would probably go for B.

I second what @Martin.Jirsak suggested: I would go with option B, too. It offers the highest degree of flexibility and is very reliable.
Nice overview, btw :+1: :slight_smile:

There’s a fourth option as well—Track Archives.
This is my preferred method. It has the benefit of retaining any routing as long as the routing destination channels match the project the archive was saved from and the project the archive is imported into.

Hi,

The Import from Project does it the same, right?

The advantage of the Track Archive is that you can really archive just the tracks in question. So when importing, you don’t have to go through many, many tracks.

Thank you very much. I’m going to stick with this method.

You’re right, it does. It looks like both Import From Project and Import Track Archive is using the same underlying method.
It’s great to have options!
