Recording Mode

[James Cartwright]

Howdy guys,

When I make a new project I want my recording mode to always be sound-on-sound by default rather than comping, is there a way to make CbB do this without setting up a project template (and separately would a template remember the recording mode?)

 

Cheers

Yes templates save the record mode. If you're just doing Ctrl+N to start a new project, and you haven't set a different template as the default, then CbB will be using the Normal.cwt template. You can either change the record mode and immediately re-save the new project as Normal.cwt, or save it as a another template name and set that as the default for new projects (click the star icon in upper left corner of the template under the New Project section of the Start Screen).

Hi James,

You should be able to set "sound on sound" as your default in the preferences section (P).

Also, as far as I know, project templates will hold your settings as well. 

what I would do is get all of the settings you typically change before getting started, make the changes then save the template (as your normal template).

That way, you can just start right up! ?

Thanks guys, I haven't seen a way to do it in preferences, but overwriting the Normal template is a nice way to do it.  I'll have a stab when I get home

Right-clicking the record button in the transport module will open Preferences > Project > Record.

Yup, but that only alters the current project, I have to do that every time

After changing the mode, Save As or Save Copy As, change the type from Normal to Template, and navigate to the Project Templates folder in the Content location to save it.

Yup got all that, thanks, worked like a charm
