Mauro Gaspa Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Is there a way to duplicate the bus like I do for a track? I tried searching in Sonar but couldn't find the command for how to do it for a track. If it doesn't exist, can it be implemented in future updates?

Glenn Stanton Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 no option to duplicate a buss. 😞 the idea of adding this feature is a good one. one thing i do to circumvent this limit, i create buss-level Pro Channel presets which use the FX chain as well as PC FX to create all the goodies for a particular buss type as well as typical settings (like EQ, reverbs, delays, compressors depending on the buss - like drums, guitars, keys, vocals, etc). so creating a new buss is really only a couple of clicks to add the buss, and add the preset. it would also be nice to have routing etc also preserved, but for that i have my own custom templates with all of those things as well as default tracks and busses. so typically going from blank to a recording template or mix template is 30 seconds or less. recording template has enough tracks pre configured for about 40 musicians if needed. i'll delete tracks and busses later. same for the mix. then i can spend time on recording things right, or getting in to the creative part of the mix faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauro Gaspa Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 Hi @Glenn Stanton. Thanks for your answer to my question. I'll follow the steps you suggested... a one-click bus duplication feature would definitely be helpful, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petemus Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 At least you can copy your bus FX Bin effects by dragging, with Ctrl pressed, one by one, to the new bus FX Bin. No need to save presets to get them to the same settings. Helps some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I make 1 track and make a send to each bus I want to save. (it could even be 20 buses 😀) Save the track as a track template. Then all you have to do is import that 1 track from  track templates. You have as many buses and all the plugins and bus sends imported into your project! I have several sets of these. Reverbs (with my favorites), saturation, distortion, etc. I think there is a bug in new Sonar. There are no colors on the imported bus strips connected to the track. I need to look into this more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Guitar Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I was just going to say what @Max Arwood said. Track template is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
