Multiple Global Setups

gurulogic · Unread post by **gurulogic** » 18 Jul 2017, 21:47

Due to the various ways that I use Usine, I keep three program directories, each with it's own setup options and devices set. One for my live performance and production with tons of i/o, one for a more compact live performance setup and one for FOH sound processing duties. Plus I tend to keep a few old "backup" versions of each in case there is ever any need to retrieve data from a previous version. This tends to a bit bulky and sometimes can be a bit confusing.

It's not a matter of great urgency for me, but it seems like it would be convenient to be able to have several global usage profiles that could be either activated at program launch and/or perhaps via module.

Yes that would be very useful.
I would have one setup for the laptop plugged into audio interface, and another setup for laptop on its own (asio4all and laptop speakers / headphones).

I'm agree , I really like these feature before ( usine 5), for dealing with projects.

Yes i'd like to have this possibility too.

I agree.

So in the meantime if you have windows I made a Configuration Manager that handles three different configurations: Performance/Studio/Design
This creates the folders, does the directory/file structure moving etc.
The batch file remains open and automatically saves/backup of the proper configuration.

Current configurations (config folder) are always backed up beforehand.

Hope this is a temporary solution that helps some people, thought it would be fun to throw together.

-As always, back up your current setup before using.
-Place in your current working Usine directory.
-Just change the extension of the .txt to .bat and run.

thanks a lot for this, that's will be very useful !

no problem...you find any bugs let me know.
Just a simple batch file...but sometimes simple is good.
I just threw together this morning...went through it quite a bit, but haven't had more than a few hours today using.

Thanks, this seems a good solution for the time being. I'm wondering what would happen if the batch process were terminated before exiting HH?

Hi guru!

So if the batch file is terminated early, the current config folder you are using (if anything changes) will still remain in the "config" folder.
Because the batch file has been terminated....this "config" will not be re-copied back on-top of the specific xxx_config folder you selected.

When you startup again the next run, this "config" folder is backed up in "config_backup", this way if you accidentally startup again you have one more chance to capture and save as a fail-safe.

This batch file that runs in the background basically is a loop that checks the processes to make sure usine.exe is still running. Once it disappears it throws an error level flag and exits the loop...then triggers the script to copy the "config" folder back over the "xxx_config" folder selected.

So I did put some fail-safe in there for everyone

i use for that GIT and branching and GIT ignore for directories/files which does not need to be in version system

It's a good suggestion.
Unfortunately it's an hard job safely.
in HH4 ?
