Saving Fader Levels

You can't save fader levels without writing automation. Since L9 there is the new "notes" feature benath each channelstrip so you could make a note about the fader level and then mess with it. Or write automation and afterwards set the channel to "off" mode so the automation will be kept but not executed. When switching back to "read" the automation will be executed again.

In the old days, you would have used a pre fader Send for a headphone mix that was to be separate from the mix in the control room.

Hi

How about this?


p770 of the pdf manual: "Switching Between Channel Strip Volume Levels"... Toggle Level key commands

Note there is no function for Instrument C Strips (this was possible in Logic 8) 😟

You can't save fader levels without writing automation.

It can be done I think...
Here is my new Environment project "SNAPSHOT CONSOLE" - (SC). It is a full complex Logic Environment tool/template which currently supports 32 Audio Tracks, 32 Istr.tracks, 32 Aux ... The SC can save and load Mixer snapshots of Inserts, Sends, Pan, Level, Mute and Solo. Thanks to the new powerful header ( I develop lately ) it can store up to 60 Presets which support "Program Change" and "Control Change" recall. The user can make now "Snapshot Automation", recording Prog. Messages or CC# on a special "Header Track". The new "Header" supports internal Clipboard so it stores temporary all you are doing on your Logic mixer till the time you decide to save to a given preset. The internal Clipboard can manage copy/paste one preset to other etc... Anyway the SC is a part of my new "Logic Advanced Midi Tools" bundle, so I hope to release it in a few months ( need some time for making videos, manuals etc... ) Here is a non official Demo Video ( no voice over ) of the "Snapshot Console":

Oh my goodness, that's very impressive! That's quite a feature and looks great! Well done indeed...

Impressive indeed. However, as with all extensive Environments that are directly cabled to Channels, it prevents you from using the new and nifty Automatic Channel Strip Management, which takes care of creating and duplicating Channel Strips as and when you need them.

As impressive as that environment looks ( and kudos for putting in the hours ) I'd much rather be able to add channels on the fly as I'm working, this way my template contains only 4 audio tracks and 4 instrument tracks when it's first opened.

Simplicity is the key to creating good music in my book.

I think we have commented that many times with you Christian... But this is quite new prototype of a whole complex Environment tool and as I mentioned the Song template supports 32 Audio, 32 Instr and 32 Aux tracks. I think it is quite enough as beginning... The "Snapshot Console" is organized as one "Master" and a few slave ( have a look at the "Link" buttons next to 'Save and "Load". Any SC can be Master or Slave depends of the "Link" buttons modes. My idea was when hit "Save" on the Master all other to "save" as well, same with load. So you can copy the SC and add more tracks.Honestly I have not tested with more then these 96 channels yet, but it must work...
In addition I forgot to mention that there are a few SC tracks in the Arrange. The user can draw or record Program change messages ( it supports Program Names according your Presets names ) on any of these "Snapshot Automation" tracks to control separately some given sectors of the Logic Mixer, or to draw or record Program Change massages on the "Master Console" global "Snapshot Automation" track, to control the whole Logic mixer using one program change message only etc...

Ivan
