How to change the default multitrack duration view from 30 seconds

Question

Hi,Typically, I keep great notes when editing configuration files, but several laptops later I seemed to have lost them.  I recently installed the latest version of AU on a new laptop (version 25).  The default Duration in the Multitrack Session is 30 seconds.  On my previous laptop, with an earlier version of AU installed, I found out online how to edit a configuration file that sets this value to 30 seconds (might have been an .XML file) and was able to set the default Duration to 4 Minutes (it's the preferred duration length for the work I do).  This is how I had the view set up in Audition 3.0 (which you could configure without editing a Config file).  I can't recall what Config file to edit to make this change and have not been able to find the online instructions I found several years back on which file to edit.  Any assistance would be appreciated. Rob

I don't think that setting exists any more. What you have to do now is create a custom session template. If you start creating a session with a four-minute file of silence, the session will extend to that length, but if you remove the file and then export the session, you'll have a four-minute empty session. If there's any other way of doing this, then SuiteSpot will know - but I checked all of the system files and console settings, and I can't find anything else that will alter the actual default.
