I already said I did the static template thing with my 6 external PCs and I no longer want to work that way (externally or not). Part of the issue was that changes to the instruments weren’t saved with the project because the static template was so large it ran in uncoupled mode. I work modularly now where each instrument is its own instrument track so any changes to them save with the project, and I can library them in the MediaBay as track presets to be recalled quickly at a later time. Trust me, there are no suggestions that I have not traversed a hundred different angles by now, but thanks any way. This is the workflow that is most efficient for me.
