Copying a Mix from one sequence to another

Post by supersonic »

Hi everyone

Any idea how to copy a given mix setting (talking just about the levels inserts and so on) from one chunk to another? I have recorded 16 songs as separate sequences and want to do a quick export of them all by copying a mix I did on one of them to the other sequences.

You could duplicate the sequence with the mix you want to use as your starting mix template. Remove soundbites and automation from that sequence. Make sure your track order is the same in the source sequence as it is in the destination sequence. In the chunks widow, click the sequence you want to copy from, so tracks overview is displayed. Copy tracks from there and paste into the mix sequence.

Not really an elegant one click solution, as in import session data, but it works.

DP is hurtin' for an 'Import Session Data' type solution.

That is what I do. But as you say, not elegant at all. Moving mixes between sequences would be great.
