P-TheoryAny thoughts on my comments around buses and routing Noel, is that too big an ask?
Noel Borthwick [Cakewalk] I think it mostly does what you want it to do except that it won't create the buses for you. Is it a problem to ensure that the buses exist in all versions of the scenes for you?

Noel Borthwick [Cakewalk]southpaw3473What I want to know is if this will allow me to recall "scenes" during playback. I could do this on an old Yamaha digital standalone recorder (AW4416) which had an O1V mixing board integrated. I loved the feature. For instance, at the chorus of a song I get all my basic settings and levels down for that part and create a scene which includes all its settings (automation, levels, pan, effects levels, etc). I save it as CHORUS. When the chorus comes up later in the song I use the scene recall and insert the CHORUS scene. All the chorus settings drop in at that point. It is wicked helpful with very complex mixes with lots of time changes and moving parts. That's the "scene" idea but I always found it extremely handy. It doesn't seem that the new Mix Recall does that.You are talking about sequencing scenes here. I understand what you are saying but in a DAW its far more natural to use automation rather than swapping in a whole new set of parameters using a scene. I don't see any advantage of changing automation and levels this way rather than recording automation. It would be pretty hard to understand what your mix will do otherwise.

Noel Borthwick [Cakewalk]It would have to be sequenced since recalling a scene can potentially cause gaps or glitches in realtime playback depending on what is being restored
Noel Borthwick [Cakewalk]P-TheoryOh its definitely a cool feature and I've used it a lot already as my workflow is basically the same as you've described. I think the only bit that would make this Mix recall perfect for me would be if it recognised and restored buses and associated routing as well because they are nothing to do with the core data / wav files and are just a routing mechanism.Mix recall does restore routing but it requires the target buses to exist in the project today. We may enhance it to restore missing buses...

southpaw3473The only advantage is it's a time saver. Instead of having to change all the individual parameters for a particular part of the song each time it occurs in a song a scene change does it all at one time. Not essential ( I haven't worked with the old O1V mixers in almost a decade) but it was a handy feature.
