those templates, historically, have never lasted long because they're inheritenly inflexible.
This functionality seems very interesting...could you explain it a little bit? Thanks
Yes, thanks!! I didn't know thisIn case you didn't get it working yet, here's the process with a couple of screenshots:
1. File -> Import -> Track from Project
2. Choose a project in the explorer and after you've picked it, choose the included track (here I just chose all from my minitemplate)
3. Your track(s) are now in the new project! Note that the associated expression maps don't seem to transfer with the tracks, so you need to import them separately. But otherwise you'll get the exactly same track that is in your template.
? I don't get this -- not picking on you in particular, but you are not the first person to say or imply that templates are inflexible. Of course they are flexible.
The synth / electronic sounds portion does get changed a lot for each project; probably obvious why. But if part of your sound is orchestral samples, why on earth would you want to reload those every time?

Does that make more sense?
Now try to import group tracks and routing
Basic example: Why does Cubase and/or VEP save an entire copy of the plugins with every single project file? What for? It's all on the disk. (please advise if I am missing something) We just need a link to it. Why can't I purge the sample cache via a remote command for all instruments? That one alone takes me ages during the template setup process ...
Answer 1: Save your project Decoupled. Once your VEP project is set up the way you like it, this should not present a problem.
Answer 2: Because some people do not make templates and would prefer to have their DAW store the VEP info.
Answer 3: AFAIK you cannot purge the sample cache in this way, but you can turn VEP loaded instruments on or off remotely, thus unloading entirely unused instruments - works really well (if you are into that kind of thing). This may not be what you are asking, but it might help...
