I am not really sure if the answers can be helpful and make you find a solution. What was actually your question? Routing? Naming? Processing?

Routing can not be the problem, because Capture does not allow free patching. Track 1 is routed to channel 1 and track 32 is routed to channel 32. To hear the tracks on a console/rack mixer, you need to change the input source of the mixer from Analog to USB (Series III) or Digital (AI Family). All Capture files are compatbile, at least within their generations (1 ore 2).

Naming was introduced with "Active Integration" aka AI. Mixer and software "talk" to each other. If you have given names to the channels on the mixer, Capture will "adopt" these names when it boots up and gets ready for recording. If you open a Capture session, you can tell your mixer to "read" the track names for the mixer's input channels. This button has not disappeared, but there are cases where it doesn't show up. Normally the missing button(s) indicate that computer and mixer have no audio connection (USB, FireWire). Naming can and will not work over network.

Processing belongs to the "scene" of a Capture session, which is a second file in your recording folder. The purpose of this invention in the AI times was to be able to "transfer" the processing done/stored during the recording to Studio One, when you load the whole session for further editiing and processing. Since then Studio One has its own Fat Channel as plug-in. On the mixers you would normally use a mixer scene for this purpose, which allows you act independent from Capture. A "scene" has more and better options. Think of phantom power...

Loading old scenes and sound settings is problematical, because the mixers have changed over the years and do not necessarily share their settings. It is always better to start from the scratch and keep your mixer as close to the factory adjustments as possible.

This does NOT refer to the Capture scenes. Any track order, any segments and cuts are stored in the Capture file and can be recalled on any computer. The built-in Capture of the Series III consoles (SD card) is restricted in its functionality. i haven't really looked into this because I would use SC card only for live recording.

Loading a Capture recording session always places the tracks in the order they were recorded. But there might be a configuration problem on a 16R, because by construction there will not show up more than 16 tracks. It is possible to move the 34 tracks and arrange them in a different order. For doing this all 34 or 36 tracks must be available (no linked tracks allowed).

The involved Capture and UC Surface versions do not need to be the latest and greatest, but they must be compatible. You can find all versions on the download pages.

There are some changes coming with Capture 3.0 for Series III mixers. There is more to read and to see on the product page.
