Now with audio configuration gone...

Question

How does one go about removing inserts, sends, and input and output settings for channels?
Do I have to load every single possible channel setting on an object in the environment to make sure that my environment has no lurking plugins or IO setting?
Am I missing something???

Answer 1

I tried my testing again today, to make sure I wasn't dreaming yesterday.
Jon, lets say you start with a Blank session. Add an audio track, instrument track, or create any of the various "audio objects" in the environment (bus, aux, in, out, audio track, inst track). Add an insert. Open your mixer and click "all".
Now delete whatever you just created from the environment or the track. Note when testing with tracks you actually have to create a second track (not a duplicate) because you have to retain at least one track in the arrange window. When you delete it you should see it disappear from the "all" view in the mixer.
Now create the same track and/or object again, and you will see that your insert is still there. It is retained, just like in logic 7. The only difference is in logic 7 you could go into audio configuration and clear out these retained inserts (AND IO settings) independent of if they were in your environment or not.
