Hi:
For many reasons I had to reboot PT and it comes always with a default where have to put again all settings , drivers , real tracks , and so on.
Instead I did a template and would like and in case a reboot, it will restart from there , to avoid all that setups.
I didn't find the way to get it done.

try this.
1..in ptw enter all your settings you need. (no recorded midi or audio traks.)
2..save as LOBSETTINGS.SEQ. PLUS MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A NOTE eg IN WIN NOTEPAD or taking a picture and/or noting in a binder your ideal settings.
each time you start a new song eg lets call a song "lobster rocks".
1..open in ptw LOBSETTINGS.SEQ
2..save as LOBROCKS.SEQ. and record your midi and audio tracks and save to the LOBROCKS.SEQ.
if you , like me, write songs in many different genres , in ptw you could have a template for each and each template have different settings.
eg… COUNTRYTEMPLATE.SEQ
ROCKTEMPLATE.SEQ
JAZZTEMPLATE.SEQ etc etc
OR if templates reflected different set ups eg… you want one template to have 20 midi traks and 15 audio traks just do your ptw settings/trak set up and save as ..
TEMPLATEM20A15.SEQ type of idea.
in summary you could have many different templates if you wished reflecting the different sets of settings you want in ptw.

This is an interesting question and I'm wondering about OM's suggestion.
If I follow OM's method, will PT remember what audio driver I want to use, what MIDI input and output drivers I want, will it remember to make my default tracks MIDI, will it remember where my temp file is, will it remember what type of time stretch I want to use, will it remember to have PT start up in the last song I had open?
If it does all of this, this is the solution I been long looking for!

Jeff.
re your specific template setting needs and template creation.
i have a new mini pc that i'm v happy so far running reaps/rb/biab, and everything is set up perfect FOR ME…and i dont wanna muck around with settings as its running like a champ.
as you have needs different from moi i would try your own template experiments and see how far you can take the 'make and save template SEQ idea' with your specific needs and/or ask pg support.
cos i dont know the internal workings of rb or ptw obviously.
in summary run your own template creation tests mate.
eg lets say you want to use 3 different settings template configs..
you could name em' CONFIG01.SEQ,CONFIG02.SEQ, and CONFIG03.SEQ.

FWIW, if you save a SEQ file with the name
$options.seq
I think it will default to those settings when loading up.
(name and spelling is important)
At least it used to...
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Rharv, can I also setup a separate $options.seq in RB to save my RB settings?

This is supposed to work for both programs.
RB is pretty much PT with more generating options. Same core program .. in my experience yes, as long as the separate $options.seq files are in their respective root folders (where the program launches from).
