Feature Request: Reset Sliders and Knobs

[jimlynch22]

In Console View, a feature that resets all sliders and knobs to their default settings. This would be useful when you use project A as a template to start a new project B, and you want to retain the tracks & instruments, but not the volumes, pan, etc.

It's done with "CTRL+Double Click" just make sure you select all the tracks with Ctrl+A to "highlight/Select all tracks." 

This will help you.

But, a "Global Reset" wouldn't be a bad idea though.

Save your workspaces with your templates.

Cakewalk makes this super easy. I made a custom template and named it "Empty" by overriding the one thats already included, and moved a copy to my external. It saves your workspaces with the desired custom templates.  So, every time I start a new project, I just hit"Ctrl+S" and rename the newly project without altering the custom template. 

Here's the PDF of the documentation. Search "Cakewalk Workspaces" It's on page 68/69

That doesn't seem to fit the bill, as CTRL-CLICK sets the knob you click on to zero, but all the others move relative to where they were in relation to one you click.

Do you perhaps have any group tracks that are linked?

Hi Will. I appreciate your suggestion and your taking time to offer it.   I have some templates with common setups I use and it's powerful.  However,  I tend to use different instruments and patches for every project, templates are not the anwser for the workflow I have in mind.

Hi Jim. I hear you loud and clear. The Ctrl-Double does it for me though. It resets all my faders to zero same goes for the panpots, gain and send. It doesn't do a global reset though. 

Let me get back at you later.
