Tzzsmk, you are onto something.
Even the ability to export or copy a Mix Recall scene to import into another project would be nice. I'm beating a dead horse with this, but the relevance of
Project Sync Groups becomes stronger for me when I see these types of requests. Implementation would be a real challenge I think, but the concept is somewhat easy.
For example: A live band records, say 15 songs. In all 15 songs, the drums, bass, and rhythm guitars are exactly the same. I'd like to mix once, then copy elements of that mix to the other 14 songs, which would be incredibly time-saving.
You can sort of do this with templates, but only at the beginning. Problem is, it's hard to go that route during tracking, or creating new projects based on a template and import all the audio. It would also be nice to simply select all the drum tracks, Right-Click a selected track #, and select
Copy Channels, or
Copy Mix. Then, open another of the 15 projects, select the same tracks there, right-click and select
Paste Channels or
Paste Mix. Voila! faders are copied, Pans are copied, Sends are copied, FX bins are copied over with appropriate plugins with their respective settings, and all ProChannel settings (for Platinum) are copied! If any new Aux's or Busses need to be created, those show up automagically as well! If a destination fails, it's routed to Master, or you simply get an error.
Undo might also work here. You just accomplished 30+ minutes of arduous work in less than 5!! (with an SSD drive, anyway)
Now, here's the fun part. You mixed all 15 songs, the artist lives with the final mix for a week, but then hates the kick drum. Go fix that in
one project, and simply copy/paste into the others! Swift!
BacktrackNoel may remember the PSG idea I pitched, which allows you to create a Sync Group of all 15 projects, and what elements would be sync'd between them. Tweak one kick drum, click the sync button, and Sonar makes the changes to all other 14 songs behind the scenes! Truth be told, that would have been a huge undertaking, but as I mentioned here, a simple Copy/Paste function of selected tracks would be an incredible time-saver for me. If the projects stored the track information in the Project file, Sonar might not even need to open the files to make the changes!
Worst-case, as you can
Save FX Rack as FX Chain Preset, having an option to
Save Channel in the same fashion would be helpful.
