We start every session with a #template
(Watch "Our Template, what is it? | Part 1: Drums, Bass & Extras":    • Our Template, what is it? | Part 1: Drums,...  
and "Our Template, what is it? | Part 2: Guitars":    • Our Template, what is it? | Part 2: Guitars  )
with practically all the tools use like sends, instruments, groups, guitars, bass chains, master, print and monitor tracks with meters...

In this template is also included Q-Clone, we just have to activate it and route it. Our purpose with this is to #analyze if necessary any process that we are exploring in the middle of the mix (Watch "Pultec EQ & Vintage Ampex Tape: a very exciting combination" where we show out Q-Clone workflow in action:    • Pultec EQ & Vintage Ampex Tape: a very exc...  ).

Let's see how we got here...

1- First create two mono auxiliary tracks.

2- On the first insert Q-Capture.

3- Then assign the same mono channel to the input and output of the first auxiliary track.

4- Now insert Q-Clone into the second auxiliary track and activate CAPTURE. (We usually start with a 16dB scale because it has more resolution and allows you to see minimal changes).

Now anything you insert into the Q-Capture auxiliary will be reflected in #QClone. But now, if you have any other track in your session in SOLO (we said MUTE in the video, that was a mistake), Q-Clone will stop working and will put a sign that says No Transmission. The solution is as simple as putting the auxiliary where Q-Capture is inserted in Solo Safe mode (Watch "SOLO SAFE in Pro Tools (Windows and Mac)":    • SOLO SAFE in Pro Tools (Windows and Mac)  ). Now you can work with the assurance that Q-Clone will be available at all times for your experiments.
