Restoring original level after vocal up/down mix?

    Hi,

    I'm wondering if there's a way for BF to restore original track levels after printing a vocal up/down pass.

    My workflow for printing vocal up/down passes has been:

    1. Take a separate snapshot
    2. Adjust level of my lead vocal bus (up or down)
    3. Proceed with snapshot
    4. Restore level to initial state

    Later, when I go to bounce passes from all my snapshots of a given session, BF successfully bounces the vocal up/down mixes, but if those are the last things it bounces, the session is saved and closed with the vocal bus level either up/down. Is there any way to get around this so the bus level is set back to the session as it was previously saved?

    Thanks!
    Daniel

            Hi @Daniel_Neiman ,

            At the moment there isn't. I make sure to always bounce the Standard Mix pass last for each snapshot but at the moment there's no way to 'nominate' a particular Snapshot as having priority over any other Snapshot for the same session. I always just put the main mix level in the comments. I have ben thinking about this but still haven't come up with a way to do it that makes sense, but I have several half ideas...

            Thanks,
            Andrew

                Thanks @Andrew_Scheps. You say you make sure to bounce the standard pass last -- is there a way to elect the order in which the passes are bounced ahead of time, or are you just doing this manually?

                    If you have multiple bounce passes in the same snapshot, the Standard mix pass is always bounced last so the solos, mutes and playlists are set back the way the session was saved. The issue is if you have more than one snapshot for the same session, like when you're doing a vocal up, there's no way right now to say what order the Snapshots will bounce in.
