Logic Pro X Template will not save state of Mute Record Solo

Where are your Templates being saved to? What's the File Path? e.g. Drive>Folder>Sub-Folder etc

Record enable is not stored as part of a template as it is a 'State' function and therefore cannot be stored as the possible 'states' might change.... (Different i/o device used for example)

However... instead of clicking on each record button you can just click and then drag up/down to arm/mute or whatever.. all tracks very quickly... as in this animated screenshot...

Ummmm Record enable is saved here when saving a file. I haven't checked Mute/Solo yet. Enabled recording for three Instrument tracks, saved file, quit Logic, booted Logic my Default file loaded with three Instrument tracks enabled. (Using Logic 9 and Snow Leopard)

Yes, everything saved with Template, Mute, Solo, Record.

Hi Clancy

In LPX record saved state doesn't always seem to work when saved in templates... its a quirk of LPX I think... as sometime I can get it to save but others, more often than not, I cant 😟

quirk = bug

However, instead of saving as a template. you just save an empty but pre configured project and load project normally that often works better I have found..

I save out such pre configured projects with specific names such as "External Instrument Setup - Record enabled" and then as soon as I load one in, I re save under a different name to my main Logic projects folder.. to ensure the original is not written over...

I also save these pre configured projects to a seperate folder to my main Logic project folder... named Preconfigured Projects... which I then drag over to favorites in Finder.. along with my main Logic projects Folder.. for easy access back and forth....in Logic's File dialog window...

Absolutely!

So we've discovered a quirk with Logic and youre closer to understanding this Template Mute/Solo issue. I only asked about the file path to ensure there were no problems on a grass-roots level as I discovered the hard way Logic is sometimes very fussy about where things are saved. Youd be forgiven for thinking you could for example move your projects from the Music folder to somewhere else but no, Logic is not flexible in that regard.

Sure Logic is.. if you save the projects correctly with all content included.... I move projects all the time between studio and home... and from different computers to computers.. or different Hard Drives to different Hard Drives..or share between different people.. without any issues..

What does cause issues with Logic... (and in reality its OS X itself that has this issue..) is moving Logic's own content, or other data that is outside of projects.. to different locations without either the use of Symlinks or without understanding the consequences of doing so beforehand.. and taking proper precautions to ensure all data used within a given project, is included.

Cheers..
