Pro Channel Settings - copy to another track?

Is there a way of quickly copying the ProChannel settings I've dialled in on one track to other tracks?  (Short of cloning the first track without events or saving the settings as a PC Preset and loading that into the other tracks).

I don't know, but I would like to know.  I need this all the time when doubling or tripling a vocal and want the same EQ and compression, or when mixing several harmony parts.  The same thing applies to stereo acoustic guitars and many other instruments that have more than one instance.

In the console view, CTRL-drag PC EQ graphs between tracks to copy. Only works with EQ though.

as GIM said,
the only other thing I can suggest is you can copy the EQ in consloe view
hold control and click on the EQ you want to copy and dragging it into the new channes EQl.

Just save it as a preset & then you can load it into any track/buss you want.

+1 for what Bristol Jonesey says. I have loads of custom Pro Channel presets for various projects. It's quick painless and easy.

I do the same thing - create PC presets, and a lot of FX Chain presets.
Many times, I'll toss the FX Chain Presets in the Bin when checking out a track - like a Limiter and/or Comp and/or EQ - most have Span in there as well.

If I end up wanting it out of the Bin, I just D&D the Preset from the Bin to the PC and it inserts an FX Chain.

Any tweaks to the FX are retained going from the Bin to the PC.

Re:Pro Channel Settings - copy to another track? 2013/05/20 19:39:53 (permalink) ☄ Helpful
It sounds like the answer is no. The OP specifically asked was there a way aside from making a preset and most of the answers ignored that request. I have not figured a way yet. Sounds like a perfect candidate for feature request. Presets are great but sometimes you just want to ctrl-c ctrl-v something you may never have use for again as a preset.

Yes... Presets are great but ctrl-c/ctrl-v need too. Like in Cubase...

I would imagine that saving & loading a preset is at least as quick as any other method, especially if you're not too fussy over naming conventions.

I just did a whole load recently where I wanted the same PC settings from one project into a different one.

So I simply saved the first one as _CJPC1 from the source project.
Then in the destination project just opened _CJPC1 which because of the underscore was the first one on the list.

Rinse & repeat ad nauseum

I reckon this would be a cool feature too.

Incidentally, on a closely related matter, does anyone know if it's possible to clone a bus?

Never tried it Steve.

I can't find anything in the bumph about it Col.
 
I don't think it's possible because otherwise you'd end up with identical inputs on two separate busses.
 
But I'd like to be able to clone the exact set of VSTs and Pro-Channel modules/settings without having to have to set up an FX Chain/Pro Channel preset that I'm only ever going to need for just this one unique occasion.
 
I'm working on mixing an upcoming Very MeTaL Clash cover, and I'm really trying to replicate some of Sandy Pearlman's subtle (yet quite sophisticated) techniques of processing multi-tracked guitars. For example, I've cloned the main rhythm guitar and selected out certain parts of each clone that need to be routed through different busses that are identical except for one small change in the reverb. If I could just do a swift bish-bosh and have that copied rhythm guitar bus it would be a real boon to my workflow.

Sounds like an interesting project.

Didn't Vyvyan have 'Very Metal' tattooed somewhere?

Almost right Col, but a good spot all the same mate
 
We picked the name from the 'design' on the back of Vyv's denim jacket...

I like the copy and paste idea. I do the only 2 things I can for now: Presets and Track Templates. 

On a good job by cake note - it's nice to be able to save multi-tracks/busses with one track template. That feature gets a lot of use when I start a project.

I think in hindsight, I prefer Ade over all of the other 3.
