Track presets are a great idea. Sadly, I’ve never found a use for them until now since the functionality is too restricted - unlike a regular track, you can’t even assign a routing when creating a new Track Preset track. Pro Tools may have been 10 years late to the feature, but they have done it exactly right. Here is what would could be improved in Track Presets 2.0:
Save routing (and dialog on loading to change if necessary)
Save sends
Save colour
Save multiple midi tracks and output assignments on Instrument tracks
Some of this can be achieved with Track Archives, but currently that is very clunky and buggy. Track Presets 2.0 would be more elegant.
Not using track presets at all, they’re almost completely pointless at present. Especially as it takes centuries even to be listed due to laggy MediaBay.
Can the Library Function do this better perhaps? I’ve not worked with that and may be way off in suggesting it.
I think Ver 9.5 has some better track handling implementation, not sure if it addresses your concerns or not.
Yes, this is way more important to me than any upgrade that has been done. It might also be linked to the problem of disabled tracks not saving all settings correctly.
