Duplicating channels
D To make a duplicate copy of a mixer channel, with its settings and Insert FX (if any), hold down [Ctrl](Win) or
[Option](Mac) and drag the channel to where you want it.
Several selected channels can be duplicated. You can also select “Duplicate Channels and Tracks” functions on
the Edit menu or mixer context menu.
D If the “Auto-group Devices and Track” option is activated on the Options menu, this will duplicate the chan-
nel’s entire Device Group, including tracks and clips - see “About Device Groups”.
Copy channel settings
If you wish to copy mixer channel settings from one channel to another you can use this function.
1. Select the channel you wish to copy settings from.
Copy channel settings only works when a single channel is selected, if several (or no) channels are selected the
function is not available.
2. Select “Copy Channel Settings >” on the Edit menu or channel context menu.
On the submenu you can select to copy channel settings from a single section (Dynamics, Filters and EQ, Insert
FX or FX Sends), or “All”, which copies everything including any Insert FX devices with their settings.
3. To paste the settings, select the channel you wish to copy channel settings to, then select “Paste Channel Set-
tings” on the Edit menu or mixer context menu.
The type of settings you copied will be reflected in the paste menu item, e.g. “Paste Channel Settings: EQ” if you
only copied the EQ section.
D The copied channel settings remain on the clipboard (until you cut or copy again) so you can paste them to
other channels if you so wish.
This can only be done with one selected channel at a time - pasting channel settings is not possible if several
channels are selected.
D Copying channel settings can also be done by selecting an Audio Track or Mix Channel device in the rack.
The procedure is the same. You can copy settings from a device to a mixer channel or vice versa.
Resetting channel settings
Resetting channel settings initializes all channel strip parameters to default values and removes any insert effects
(see “Insert FX section”) from the channel.
D To initialize a mixer channel (or Mix Channel/Audio Track device), select “Reset All Channel Settings” from the
Edit menu or channel/device context menu.
Channel settings reset is not possible if several channels are selected.
! Any Output Bus routings are not affected (see “Output Busses”).
Naming mixer channels
New Audio Tracks will by default be named “Audio Track + number”. When creating an Instrument, the Mix channel
will take its name from the patch of the connected Instrument device.
D To enter a new name for a channel, double-click the name in the channel header.
A text field opens allowing you to enter a name for the channel.
Channel names are reflected - and can be changed - in all areas; the Track List., the Main Mixer and in the device.
Mix Channel source devices and tracks have independent names from the Mix Channel device/channel strip. By de-
fault, a Mix channel takes its name from its source device (typically, the instrument device connected to it). If you
change the name of the source device, the Mix channel name will change too.
