Hello
I'm trying to find a method to place an effect, say EQ, on multiple channels without going through the motions of placing the same effect on each channel independently. I tried holding the ALT key down after selecting all the channels that were going to get the effect, then dragging the effect onto one channel but that only places a single effect in that particular channel. Thanks for your suggestions |

Highlight the tracks in the mixer, and just click and drag the EQ from the browser to one of the insert bins. It will make one copy on each of the selected channels.
If you've already got the EQ on a channel's insert bin, then just select/highlight the remaining channels and click and drag into one of the highlighted insert bins. It's as easy as can be.

If you want identical EQing on all those channels then you probably want to send those channels to a bus, and insert the EQ in the bus.
So - send all channels to a bus (and not to main) - the bus will send to main - and insert the EQ in the bus This yields better results than trying to insert identical EQing in each channel and it is also easier on the processor. |

I already tried that. It's not working for me for some reason. I use the old Studio one Producer, is that the reason I'm having this issue? |
SwitchBack wroteIf you want identical EQing on all those channels then you probably want to send those channels to a bus, and insert the EQ in the bus. You're right about it being easier on the processor however, there are times that I will need the EQ, or whatever else, on each channel. Drums are one instance of this with my needing to EQ the Snare, TOm, etc . . . individually and then out to a Bus |

oK
that's the problem then. I'll have to do it manually then Thanks |
psalmteen wroteoK It's worth picking up the upgrade. There's been a lot of great enhancements since 2.6.3. If anything, Presonus does the occasional sale.

psalmteen wroteoK If you have an aversion to upgrading due to financial or Hardware restraints, you can build a template with 20 or 30 tracks and pre-populate each of the channels with an EQ. Use that template for your starting point and just delete the tracks you don't need. Can be pretty handy |

Thanks for all the suggestions.
The template idea is worth doing since I'll have the need for it with 200+ channels for orchestration |

I had Studio One 2 Producer before, and sending to a bus worked just fine. I don't know why that's not working, but you could also create an FX channel, and send as many tracks to it as you want.

I'm having trouble sending, or dragging, a single effect into multiple tracks or channels in one motion. It works in Protools and I thought that I did it in Studio One Producer some time ago. |
psalmteen wroteIt's not my sending tracks to a bus that is the problem. I'm having trouble sending, or dragging, a single effect into multiple tracks or channels in one motion. Oops- My bad...I misread something there. But I do have an idea to try: Group the tracks that you want an insert on (select the relevant tracks in the arranger, right click, and choose "Group Selected Tracks") Then drag a plugin on one of them, and see if they all get the plugin inserted on them. I don't know if that will work, but worth a shot. |

THanks for the suggestion
That does not work either. I thought that I performed that operation though through a keystroke but it may have been in Protools. |

Can be difficult to keep all of the functionality separate when you're using multiple DAW's. I'm currently having that problem right now with video editors. Can't keep them straight in my head about which one does what
