I have a number of track templates with tracks that:
create the folder
create the tracks
create the busses
adjust the routing
add the fx
add the instruments
Etc.
I created these mainly for old projects that were started before I settled on how I wanted buses.
So one track template is just for creating the main buses and routings
Main Audio out
Master Mix
Vocals all
Vocals Main
Vocals other
Instruments all
Purc all
Guitars All
Synths all
Inserting the guitar template creates
Folder
Tracks (all routings: output, buses, effects)
Guitar E 1 Amp 1
Guitar E 1 Amp 2
Guitar E 1 Direct
Guitar E 2 Amp 1
Guitar E 2 Amp 2
Guitar E 2 Direct
Guitar Acc Mic 1
Guitar Acc Mic 2
Guitar Acc Direct
Buses
Guitars All (output to Instruments All)
Guitar E 1
Guitar E 2
Guitar Acc
Guitar 1 reverb
Guitar 1 distortion
Guitar 1 modulation
Guitar 2 reverb
Guitar 2 distortion
Guitar 2 modulation
And so on. I find it easier to delete unneeded tracks than adding when desired.
Also, now, I do not load a project template for a new project. I open a basic project and then add the Buses template first.
This means the Master Template Project is a project that I use to maintain the track templates. This way I only have one place that needs to be maintained rather than multiple templates. When I find I want another bus to be part of each project, I add it in this project and save the track template, and Bob's yer uncle.
Because I use a lot of buses I am yearning for bus folders. How can those not be a no-brainer?
