>but doesn't anyone find the inability >to do a "send selected fader values" for snapshot mixing (while in pause >record) to be a major shortcoming?? Yes ;). But, if it did record the snapshots you would have potential channel conflicts when there are several mixer modules (different devices/ports) for the same channel. You actually can record snapshots by cabling (temporarily) the output of the corresponding instruments back into the physical input object. (E.g. if you want all the mixer settings for a particular multi-instrument, cable that multi's output into the physical input, record the snapshot & remove the cable.) Admittedly, not very elegant...
