Custom Templates - saving audio hardware routing

OK 

So I need to set up a template in Audition, but am cannot seem to get it right... here goes

 

We are using a Beehringer X32 digital mixer into Audition, using the 32in/out setup.  I have 17 total tracks I want to record, so I set up a multitrack session with all of the channels labeld and routed from the X32 into the inputs of Audition.  The problem is that when I go back into the session after disconnnecting from the mixer all of the inputs say "None" and no loger correspond ot the ins/out from the mixer. 

 

Is there a way to save a session tha would automatically include the ins and outs as set up, independent of whether or not the mixer is actually coonnected?  Namely, so that if i record the session using the template, save it as a file/folder session and the re-open the template, the routing is still there nect time, without having to re-set the inputs?

Audio device information is stored in the templates - but if the specified device isn't present, then all the channels will revert to None. So if I have a look at the inner workings of a template file, I can see, for instance, this:

Where clearly it was set up using an RME Fireface 800, and if you opened the session with that connected, all of the inputs would be configured as they were when the template was stored. But if I try opening that same template on my laptop, all I get for inputs is this:

Which is reasonable, as I don't have a Fireface 800!

 

So the answer is that yes, it's stored - but no, you won't see it unless the device is connected before you open the session.

THANK YOU!!! I think I have it all difgured out now.  Basically, I should open the TEMPLATE only after the device is coonnected, and then save the session with a different filename/location to work on offline, then open a new session (the next week, or whatever)  using my template.... wash rinse and repeat. 

 

I got it.  Thanks again
