Bus templates

Hi boys,
 
I was wondering if it is possible to create "Bus templates" in Sonar X2 similar to Track templates? 
 
I use buses to create groups for drums, brass ensambles, background vocals, etc and I would like to save the bus on a template such that I can easily recreate the bus by inserting it from a template (same thing as track templates).
 
Not being able to find a better way, I created a bus and saved the PC as a preset. It sort of works but it only saves the PC, not send levels, send asignement, etc.
 
Thanks,
 
Jhon

    Yes it is but it doesn't show as "Buss template". Just create the busses - routing - FX - etc etc as you want it and then assign one track to the buss.

    Save that track as a track template. When you insert that track all of the routing and busses will be created then just delete the track. Not quite as eloquent as a fully fledged "Buss template" function but does the job all the same.

    I use that method all the time for FX and routing busses.

    Jhon - Karl's tip is exactly what I would have suggested for a specific Bus.

    An additional idea, and the way I work, is to define a starting file. You can save that as a template. Or you can do what I do - which is to keep the starting file as just a file and just copy and paste its whole file folder and give it a new name (your new song's name).

    In either case, with a starter file you can set your file just the way you like it with your preferred Buses all set up right out of the gate.

    Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

    Lawajava,
     
    Thank you for that.  Yes, I created a new template and saved it as the "Normal" template and it works very well.
     
    Now I am trying to figure out how to modify the default audio channel template that is inserted when I go for "Insert Audio Track" but that is a different story.  Again thanks.  Jhon
