<dfn>Session templates</dfn> are a way to store the setup of a session
|
|
for future use. They do not store any <em>audio</em> 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>Creating a Session Template</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <kbd class="menu">Session > Save Template</kbd> shows a dialog asking
|
|
for the name of the new template, and a description.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Using a Session Template</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the <a href="@@newopen-session-dialog">New Session dialog</a>, a panel lists the different
|
|
template (factory and user-created).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Managing Templates</h2>
|
|
To manage templates, choose <b>Window</b> > <b>Templates</b>. To access this menu item, you have to have a session open.

Both Session templates and Track Templates can be managed through the Manage Templates
|
|
window, which can perform the following actions:
|
|

|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Renaming a template</li>
|
|
<li>Removing one</li>
|
|
<li>Adding/modifying its description</li>
|
|
<li>Exporting the templates (e.g. to be used in another Ardour instance)</li>
|
|
<li>Importing templates (from e.g. another Ardour instance).</li>
|
|
</ul>
