Saving 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”.
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.
• “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 in the new project
to match the number of channels you saved settings for in
the previous project.
For example, if you saved settings for six channels, select six channels in
the mixer.
• Mixer settings will be applied in the same order as they
were in the mixer.
Thus, if you save settings from channels 4, 6 and 8 and apply these set-
tings to channels 1, 2 and 3, the settings saved for channel 4 would be ap-
plied to channel 1, the settings saved for channel 6 to channel 2 and so on.
2. Right-click the mixer panel to open the context menu,
and select “Load Selected Channels”.
A standard file dialog appears, where you can 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 there
is information included in the file. All channels, output set-
tings, VST Instruments, sends and “master” effects will be
affected.
Ö Please note that if the saved mixer settings were for
24 channels, for example, and the mixer you apply it to
currently contains 16 channels, only the settings for chan-
nels 1 to 16 will be applied – this function will not auto-
matically add channels.

Saving mixer settings does not apply to MIDI chan-
nels in the mixer – only audio-related channels
(group, audio, instrument, effect return, and VSTi)
are saved with this function!

Loading mixer settings does not apply to MIDI chan-
nels in the mixer – only audio-related channels (group,
audio, instrument, effect return, VSTi) are saved and
can be loaded with this function!
!
If you choose to apply mixer settings to fewer chan-
nels than you saved, the order of the saved channels
in the mixer applies – i.e. the saved channels that are
“left over” and not applied will be the channels with
the highest channel numbers (or furthest to the right
in the mixer).
