HOW DO I MAKE A PROJECT TEMPLATE?

Any project may be saved as a project template by

• setting "Save as type"  to Template and
• setting "Go to Folder" to "Template Files (.CWT,.TPL)

in the "Save As" dialog.
 

Check out the videos in my signature and go to my YouTube channel I have a video on making project templates there. Good luck

Was on my IPhone yesterday and couldn't link the video.
Here you go

Thanks man. I really appreciate that.

You might also want to look at creating TRACK TEMPLATES - which I use all the time - to bring in frequently used tracks and routing assignments and such for things like a particular drum kit - where just inserting the track template for that drum kit brings in: The drum synth, the loaded custom kit, each cell piece in the kit is routed to its own output channels in the drum synth - with basic levels all set and evened out within the drum kit - a couple of midi tracks, (one for a click and one for drum data), separate audio tracks for each kit piece, with routing assignments and gain staging all set back to the outputs from the drum synth, all sorts of drum buses (cymbals, snare, kick, toms, overheads, room), etc...... - All nicely contained in a track folder, with track and bus icons and everything.
 
So - anyways - track templates are also quite useful, so that was why I went through all of the above typing - I get all of that with just a handful number of mouse clicks - VERY powerful.
 
There are many YouTube videos available that also show how to use and manage both Track and Project templates.

Good point on Track Templates.  I have a couple of MEGA project templates with everything but more and more I use my basic Project Template set up and dragging the track templates in that I need.  

The funny thing about templates is once you create one, you always need to tweak it a few times the more you use it.
you either forget a few things or there's some settings that weren't set properly when you created the first one.
 
Good idea there Bob about mixing it up using track templates.
IMO, You can never have too many track templates, or project templates.
 

I love templates. Makes things SO much easier.
 
I have several templates set up for recording. Some for mixing. Others for mastering. I even set some up for vinyl transfer, as I do quite a lot of that.
 
Thanks for the video Chuck. That gives me a few more ideas!
