For our band, I created a new show and then built several scenes within that show. This weekend I’m running sound for an event with an entirely different setup of routing, instruments, etc, much different than our regular setup. So I created a new show and started a new scene in that show. Now I’m wondering if there is any way to copy a lot of the library entries I created in my original show and paste them into the new show to save time. As I think it through, I probably could have just kept working in my original show and created new scenes. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, Joe GLD-80 w/M-DANTE, GLD-AR2412, MacBook Pro, Studio One 2 ---

I can’t believe I missed that one. I’ve done it many times with scenes. The 70’s are creeping up on me. Too late now, but I’m almost done. Next time for sure.
