Sometime is just a matter of having reverse ideas. I remember
the first thing i did when Environment came along was to create
a total all included Environment.
Another ways is, to open two songs, and simply drag&drop
form a existing song to a template autoload. This workflow
is also handy, when you later decide to make a score of any
type.
Further, you can drag&drop the whole environment to a another
song, just erase the old one first. That's what i do when a song
is delivered from a third party.
Rearranging tracks can be done very fast, just bring the tracks to
the order you wanna have them, and drag them to the a new
template.
did God help?

But that only works if you happen to already have a template that already exists.In my case, because I so rarely use Logic for audio on any large basis, I didn't have such an autoload. For the most part it's uneeded and I would have to delete tracks on every session to get back the DSP. Now that I have got a bigger session I have to go make a pile of audio units. In this case DSP wasn't an issue, I just hadn't had the objects in an autoload. But Is it too much to ask for the ability to create a whole bunch at once? How hard would it be to have a command that made a set number of objects and consecutive voices?
And this is just one of a hundred scenarios. I would have to have a huge arsenal of various autoloads for different situations, and no way of knowing what will be needed in the future. And no autoload is going to cover all audio output arrangments. They still have to be done one at a time.
Sure you can drag objects around, then I run into the problem where I have these different tracks names with different audio object names, assigned to different voices, and it becomes one big confusing mess. I have a hard time telling which voices are being used, and run into certian tracks not playing right, or files not exporting (track to audio) right, etc etc. Some of these features are great for production, comping etc, but when it comes to a mix session they create more of a headache for me than good.
Another one I run into, and maybe you can help with. When I want to drag like 50 audio files/regions from the audio window into teh arrange window. I can only seem to select everything, or one at a time (shift-clicking). How do you rubberband a large number of audio files?
Another issue I have found, it when exporting tracks to audio is that the audio on some tracks willbe in the wrong place. Whil in the original region a part may start at bar 7, in the newly created audio file, it may end up at bar 10. This seems random, and I have to examine track by track which ones are wrong. This can be a PITA when you aren't very familliar with the material.
Here's a minor one. When I want to import audio into a session, it doesn't move the audio into the project audio folder. I seem to have to go into the finder, manuallycopy the audio into my project audio folder, then import. or I can import the audio files where they are, and use copy/convert to copy them into the audio fiels folder, but then I end up with two copies in the audio window. I wish the import window would give the option to copy and/or convert the audio into the audio files folder and into the format of the session.
Sometimes when importing a file, it will throw off the timing of the other audio tracks. I imported a short audio file o its own track, with it's own audio object voice, etc. And my kick and snare audio tracks would start playing out of time. Totally random. Sometimes when starting at the top of the song while locked to LTC, one of the tracks will play 5 bars before it's supposed to, etc.
A big gripe for me is that with TDM, recording in WAV format results in white noise in the audio files. This has been happening since around version 5. That leaves me ith the choice of sd2, which is only mac compatible and corrupts if moved to a non-mac formated drive, or AIF which doesn't support time stamping. Maybe it has been fixed in the last update, but I have been too afraid to try as the results are ear-splitting noise.
I'm not writing this to bash on Logic, but rather to hopefully find work arounds for my newly formed issues.
