Has anybody else noticed this? In the past when I saved Track Templates, when I recalled them in other projects the track colors I had assigned were recalled too, as they should be. Now when I insert a track template into a project all the tracks are the bog standard grey. What's happening? Am I missing some setting somewhere?

At present, track templates do not recall track colors. [Edit: After trying to save tracks with colors as track templates, it sure looks like  I'm wrong - see posts #13 and #14]

I'm noticing that it doesn't save your outputs either. And every time it also opens up the pro channel strip. Even if you saved it with it closed. Sure would be nice if it remembered everything.

So do you know Craig if Cakewalk are planning on sorting this out? There are several track color issues I have with SONAR which I have written to Cakewalk about in the past and nothing improves. I would have thought with more regular updates that things would be moving on this score.

If you mean an output to a bus, see this post. I'm sure output assignments are saved with track templates but if you can provide a recipe to reproduce, I'll look into it.

No, I have no idea. [Edit: After trying to save tracks with colors as track templates, it sure looks like  I'm wrong - see posts #13 and #14]

They seem to be prioritizing stability, optimizations for faster operation, and features requested by many people, like synth recording and patch points.
 

Hi Craig,
I have an octacapture and my track template is saved with it going to octacapture outs 5 and 6, but every time I load it, it loads outputs 1 and 2. I'm running Lexington.

Do you assign the outs directly to the hardware ins, not a bus whose outs are assigned to the hardware ins? 
 

I'm using Ipswich and the track template colors are not saved with it either. THis should be fixed. All parameters should be saved with the track templates

Hey guys,
I agree this is a bug. However, it's not as simple to fix as it may seem and would require some fundamental changes to how we handle track colors (or track templates). So when we weigh the severity of the issue vs the risk of impacting other stuff we end up trading for other fixes. It is in our list and is not being ignored - we're just trying to use our time as wisely as possible.
For now, you'll need to manually add your blue Reaktor spacial enhancements. Sorry.
