Update and save template without events

asked Nov 8, 2020 in Editing by thomaswilson10 (800 points)
When working on a project I often make edits in my "master template" that I would like to keep for future projects, to include things like updates to my routing setup, volume balance between instruments, or reverb settings.  The only way to update an existing template in a project with midi or audio events that I am aware is to delete all events before saving a new template, or replacing an existing.

I'm requesting an option to save and update templates without audio/midi events, to include data in global track such as arranger events. I think this will be useful with consideration of the updated track search features, which make navigating a large template much easier.

Hi Thomas,

I don't understand this passage:

Do you want to include arranger, chords and time signature / key changes in your template or not?

I personally would not want to retain arranger/ chords/ time signature/key change data when saving an updated template as (for me) those tend to be project specific.  Perhaps this could be optional.

What if the ideia is implemented as checkboxes for what to keep in or out the template?

- Audio/Midi Events?

- Tempo map?

- Arranger?

- Plugin chains?
