Mix Recall tips in Tech+Music 2017.06 - Craig
This is my own question for Craig, but someone else may benefit from it which is why I am posting rather than PM'ing.
In Tip #2 on Page 32-33: Craig writes that you can take a specific mix element from one mix and "import" it into another. I have been going over the Mag (love that this is back with the updates) absorbing it all...
I decided to give this a spin because I this would be a huge benefit. But for the life of me I have not been able to get this to work as expected. Am I doing something wrong or is it not quite right?
I made a test.
1. Set up a few tracks.
2. Made some panning and level changes.
3. Saved that as a Scene
4. Save as new Scene
5. Zeroed out everything on the New Scene
6. Inserted a plugin and Volume Automation on a track that has nothing done to (in either Scene)
7. Saved that Scene. Now I have a two Scenes. One with only level and pan on two tracks, nothing else. The other with plugin and automation, nothing else
8. I follow the instruction in Step 2.
9. I end up wiping out one of the mixes, completely overwriting the mix with the other (even though I have Apply to Track/Bus Selection, and selected a specific track)
I cannot get this to work as I have interpreted it in the Mag. Craig, or anyone else who has successfully done this, can you shed some light on this? Perhaps I am just fried from this week and am missing the obvious. Thank you...
