The Mixer
Saving and loading Mixer settings
It is possible to save complete Mixer settings for all or all
selected audio-related channels in the Mixer. These can
later be loaded into any project. Channel settings are
saved as Mixer settings files. These have the file extension
“.vmx”.
Saving selected channels or all Mixer settings
Right-clicking somewhere in the Mixer panel or in the
Channel Settings window brings up the context menu
where the following Save options can be found:
• “Save Selected Channels” will save all channel settings
for the selected channels.
The input/output routing is not saved.
• “Save All Mixer Settings” saves all channel settings for
all channels.
When you select any of the above options, a standard file
dialog opens where you can select a name and storage lo-
cation on your disk for the file.
Loading selected channels
To load Mixer settings saved for selected channels, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Select the same number of channels as when you
saved your Mixer settings.
• The Mixer settings are applied in the same order as they
were saved.
For example, if you save the settings for channels 4, 6 and 8, and apply
these settings to channels 1, 2 and 3, the settings saved for channel 4
are applied to channel 1, the settings saved for channel 6 to channel 2,
and so on.
2. Open the Mixer context menu and select “Load Se-
lected Channels”.
A standard file dialog opens, allowing you to locate the saved file.
3. Select the file and click Open.
The channel settings are applied to the selected channels.
Loading all Mixer settings
Selecting “Load All Mixer Settings” from the context menu
allows you to open a saved Mixer settings file, and have
the stored settings applied to all channels for which infor
-
mation is included in the file. All channels, output settings,
VST instruments, sends and “master” effects will be af-
fected.
!
When applying Mixer settings to fewer channels than
Mixer settings available in the saved file, some of the
saved settings are not needed and will be “left over”.
Since the saved settings are applied from “left to
right” (as shown in the Mixer), the settings for the
channels furthest to the right are the ones that are
not applied to any channels.
!
This function does not automatically add channels!
For example, if the saved Mixer settings are for 24
channels, and the Mixer you apply it to contains 16
channels, only the settings for channels 1 to 16 are
applied.
