Moving settings from one sequence to another.

[lyond]

This one has my old bald head in a whirl.

I have an evening of sequences selected from the raw recording (some 17 tracks, auxes as submasters, lots of plugins). The artists made suggestions which I placed in a new mix on some of the sequences, and they approved them. I now want to replicate all of the fader, pan, plugin and send settings to the sequences I have not yet modified to the artists' taste (or at least a new mix of each).

I can't seem to get my head around the snapshot concept. Is someone willing to do a step at a time description to get what I want?

All of my stuff is live recordings of jazz and classical music.

DP7.22, imac core2 duo, 4gb memory, osx 10.6.6, 828mkII and mk3, Behringer ada8000 and BCF2000, a few good mics, +jazzclub kit (allen and heath mixwizard 16/3, recording with direct outs).

For what you describe, these are some things you can try:
- Loading chunks
- Duplicate Track layout and/or Duplicate Sequence (chunks window)
- Templates
- Clippings

Check the manual for those sections. Depending on where you are with your current mixes and project, you could do what you want with any of them.

Snapshots are great, but they are not what you are looking for.
Use them to set mix automation parameters (any parameters, including plug-ins) for x amount of tracks for x amount of time (your selection range - sections of your song).

What exactly you don't understand about snapshots? Please be more specific.

I really suggest you become acquainted with the topics I mentioned above by reading the manual first, and then asking more specific questions about them here, so we can help you with your workflow.

Thanks. I had hoped that there was a one shot way of doing this. I have given up trying to put ALL of the settings from one chunk into a second mix of another.

What works is
Three sequences
A. A song that has a mix that I like (each song is part of an evening of jazz, so they will all have pretty similar mixes)
B. A new sequence duplicating the tracks (thus faders, pan and sends) of A.
C. The original second song mix.

In A, save new inserts for each track
In B, load the inserts.
Now copy the soundbites from C to D and correct stop time.

Unless someone knows an easier way?

Pity... It's TOTALLY doable, and very easy once you know how...

There are many ways you can do what you want, but it depends on where you are with the current project (maybe you have different songs recorded in different chunks and want to copy one mix onto the others, or maybe you have one mix that you want to copy to other songs that have not been recorded yet, etc).

I would invest 2 or 3 hours of time reading those sections of the manual, if I were you. This is something you are likely to use many times in the future...
