How to save mixer settings?

I've got a project I am working on right now and I want to save my mixer settings as I have other songs in the same project that I need to work on but I don't want to adjust the levels of the song I just finished.

How do I do that?

You can only do that by writing automation into your project. Switch to Automation view - set channels to read mode - draw in the nodes for your tracks - then you can move on to the next song and adjust the levels for that one. It's probably easier to create new projects for each song though.

Couldnt you also just save a version of the song as "Mixer Settings Template" and then delete all the contents of the Arrange page etc?

Yes, I would start a new project for each song... you could copy and paste all the required regions to the new project... You could also delete all the audio files, regions etc (after saving of course!) and save as a project template so you'd have all your mixer settings as starting points when you paste all the regions into it....

However, I could understand a situation where you want a number of songs in the same project, for a film or stageshow for example.... in which case, I don't know but - does anyone else know if packing into a folder would work?
