Clearing sends on multiple channels

[crduval]

I wanted to save a recently completed song as a template. To "zero the board", so to speak, I created a new mix (which cleared out all the plug-ins on my inserts), but all my send assignments and settings were still there.

I read through the manual and did some searching but couldn't find a way to clear all the sends at once on a single channel, let alone multiple channels. I tried changing the number of sends down to one, and then back to 5, but all the settings came back. The best I could do to speed the process along was to click on each send, type "n" to select "None" (saving me from scrolling all the way up on that long list of busses) and hit enter. One send at a time.

Does anyone know a shortcut to clear multiple sends at once?

I don't think you can...

I've tried it myself and could never make it work. The most you can do is drag a cleared send to another one, one by one, and that's the fastest I've been able to do it.

Yes. This is an inconsistency in the program. What's the point of "clearing" a mix halfway? I would expect everyrthing to be fully cleared, including sends.

When I tested this a while ago, I discovered that if you create a new mix, the "clearing" is partial and volume and panning parameters depend on where in the mix the wiper was (so if it was at a place where you had all your faders at -6dB, that's what you'll get when you make new mix). I don't know if that's a bug or a feature. But clearing should mean really clearing it all!

And after years of complaining, we still get all sends in new tracks at unity instead of minus infinity, which is mildly irritating...

We already have a preference about how we want new tracks to be set by default regarding the automation on/off status. An extra preference there for the sends setting would be nice.
And grouping the tracks should also make it possible to set send assignments and plugin assignments for the selected tracks (set them, delete them, etc)
