Hello there Logicians, I recently changed my soundcard without finishing a couple of old mixes. When I open up the unfinished songs with the new sound card I have to change the device setting from the old card to the new one in the audio mixer. When I do this I lose all my fader, eq, and plugin settings. Does anyone know of a way to copy all of those settings from the old mixer and paste them into the new one? Importing the environment layer doesn't work because it also imports the device(soundcard) setting. I'm using Logic 5.5 in OSX 10.2.8 Thanks for any replies. Jon

If memory serves me (I'm not near a Logic machine right now), when you open your old song in logic, with ONLY the NEW audio-driver enabled, logic will give you a pop-up dialogue that goes something like "convert song to new audio-driver/object?". When you click yes, all your plugs should be there with your old settings. At least that's the way it worked for me when I switched cards some time ago. Cheers, Arvid.

Hi Arvid, unfortunately Logic didn't give me that option. Strangely the old card(Sonorus Studio) was still selected even though it is no longer in the computer. It makes me wonder if the soundcard has some kind of memory of its own. If I reinstall the card will my settings be available again, or because I have taken it out will it's memory (assuming it has some) be wiped out. Hmmm, Jon

Open your old song. Go to the "Audio Configuration" window. In "view" select your old driver and do a "copy" command. Now open your new song making sure your new driver is enabled. Go to the Audio Confitguration window again. Select your new driver. Do a "Paste" command. That should do it. -Dan Alvarez

Have you literally tried to open a new logic song, and deselect your sonurus driver. Select your new driver, reboot logic. Open your old song. The dialogue should be there, or there's something going on which is above me... Good luck!
