TechnophobiaThanks for the continual updates. I’m having difficulty keeping up 🙂
PodianerNice!! I like the implementation of the templates. To see it in action is rather simple considered the complex discussions before! Good one. But what I do not understand is, why is there an extra parent track created when copying to a template Track?
Holding the alt key while clicking on a group track header will drag the entire group and not just the single track. Previously dragging a group was only possible if the group was collapsed.
That is great, but could you also implement a way to delete one entire group by pressing ALT + delete? That would complete this feature imo.
Assigning a global plugin mapping to a track will automatically assign the local bank preset. This was previously only done for insert plugins.
That is something that annoyed me for a while. Good to have this solved!! Well done.
The project wizard window is removed. All the essential wizard features are now found on the project start page. The Ctrl+W shortcut opens the browser window instead.
Thanks for that! The browser needed a shortcut!!
A bunch of great new features!! I like them all, and the new recall and template feature makes working with arrangements a breeze in the future! Very powerful features. I hope audio features are next and in the near future!! 😉 Then everybody will be happy (almost! 😉 )
Thanks again for that great update. Looking forward to working with it.

Zynewavewhy is there an extra parent track created when copying to a template Track?
The extra parent track is the track that is shown in the template menus, and it’s just a placeholder for the actual template tracks. Thus you can name a new template track “Compressor -3dB” (if you e.g. have the track gain set to -3dB) but still have the inserted new tracks retain their original track names. It also allows you to arrange a set of tracks directly under the template track, which means you can use template tracks to insert a set of tracks on the same group level, and not just group tracks.
you also implement a way to delete one entire group by pressing ALT + delete?
You can press G (to collapse group) and then delete. I need to think about whether Alt should be used for these types of alternative group commands. If it should be used for deletion, then there is a whole range of commands that really ought to follow those guidelines, and I’m not sure that is possible.

Ah!! You really thought that out! Didn’t you? 😉 Makes perfect sense.

Ok, I knew the “workaround”, but I thought it would be a nice addition to the just added feature of moving groups. [/quote]
PodianerThe new template feature is really easy to use and very powerful! I love it! But is it possible to create template tracks right withing the template arrangement? When I try to do that, creating a template track in an ordinary arrangement does not work for the manually created template tracks. It only works with the copy function.
Zynewaveis it possible to create template tracks right withing the template arrangement?
Yes. Does your manually created template track appear in the menu?
You should just create a template track with the stickie note “Template” (no trailing linefeeds), to make it appear in the track context menus. And then create the real template track(s) as child tracks.
Podianerok, I accidentaly pressed enter inside the sticky note, that was why the menu was looking strange. Works fine now!

I’ve now changed it so that only the first word in the stickie note needs to be “Template”.
PodianerNice! Is it possible to just copy the template arrangement to other projects, or do I have to set everything up again?

If you copy the template arrangement, open another project, and paste the arrangement in, you will lose all device, preset and parameter assignments on the template tracks. If you build up a set of templates in a project, you could save that as a template for new projects.
PodianerSo there is no chance to transfer a set of template tracks to another existing project? 😥

Not currently. This may be improved in future updates, but for now I need to focus on to other more important features.
PodianerRight! 😉
acousmod# Template tracks can be created with the “copy track to template” and “copy group to template” track menus. A dialog will pop up where you can edit the template name and select whether timeline events should be copied. Once track templates have been created, they can be accessed on submenus of the “new track”, “new child track” and “new group track” track menus.
It is indeed a really nice feature.
But the current state of an inserted plugin is not saved with the template, like it is when we copy/paste a track.
Could it be the same for the templates ?
