Hi, I’ve got a live set going where there are snapshots of each row, specifically set up for using the knob macros, which I’ve assigned to different dry/wet settings on channel inserts. At different points in the performance I’ll hit the launch key and my effect settings will be correct for the moment. However, it’s important that I ride the output 1/2 levels manually throughout the performance. Is there a way to simply exclude one parameter (in the case outs1/2) from getting wrapped up in the snap shot? My performance keeps getting messed up because the levels are jumping around when I change rows. I hope I’m being clear, thank you. Also, the reason I’m not simply using the main volume knob for this is because there is a section where I must turn the fader on the mains in the master section all the way up at certain times.

Each snapshot only contains things that existed when taking the snapshot. If you add a volume controlling plugin in the master inserts after creating all the snapshots, you can use that plugin as master volume. But then if you re-take a snapshot while the master plugin is already there, you'll have to delete and re-create the master plugin and re-add its volume parameter on a Q-link.

I'd use an external mixer or master effect processor for riding the levels.
