in each new Session you create, such as the number of input and output
Channels, the number and names of Tracks or Busses, or the Routing, then
you may wish to create a Template of that information instead.</p><p>With a <strong>Template</strong>, you can save the state of a currently open Session
<em>without</em> all the Region information files. Templates are useful if, for
example, you&rsquo;re doing extensive Routing on Tracks and Buses and want to
save the Editor Window&rsquo;s state for use in other Sessions. An example
might be a Template to record Tracks of drums, bass, guitar and vocals,
each with their own input on the soundcard, which you might use as a
basis for each Session you created in that situation.</p><h2 id=save-a-template>Save a Template</h2><p>You can save a new Template from the Main Menu: <em>Session > Save Template</em>. You are asked to give the new Template a name:</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Save_Template_1.png alt=template1></p><h2 id=load-a-template>Load a Template</h2><p>When creating a new Session, you can load up a previously saved Template:</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Save_Template_2.png alt=template2></p><p>In summary: Session Templates are a way to store the setup of a session for future use. They do not store any audio data but can store:</p><ul><li>The number of tracks and busses, along with their names.</li><li>The plugins present on each track or bus (if any).</li><li>All I/O connections.</li></ul><h2 id=conclusion>Conclusion</h2><p>Congratulations, you have reached the end of this introduction to Ardour!
