I want to ask to all you, what do you you use your basic template to start with from beginning of the production session?
Or is it just a blank paper?
Or do you put your groups in categories for the template or use multiple pre-made sends for example..

iv just made a simple template that has a few eqs on a few channels and a reverb send channel, a kick n bass bus channel and thats it. then start (trying) to creat something cool, useualy start finding a nice kick, then bass then percs the leads and so on. this seems to work for me, but its probably just habbit. |

Basic template with:
- side chain installed
- few standard send effects
- some audio channels with standard eq and delays to throw audio on.
- group channels set up for hats, snare, general cuts below 125 and above 18khz.

Ok, seems like most people prefer empty state. I can understand why, when its keeps the spirit always open..
To me i have basic set up for preferences and also few premade channel in mixer routed but empty from effects. Also i have few more sends routed to inserts, when FL offers so less from beginning. Those have some usable effects, which i can use for every project, like couple of different reverb.

i could work from empty quite happily, but like willsanquil has just said, i colour and label a few main channels, and im going to use an eq on most mixer channels and reverb. so i might as well have is set up ready. |

Usually Blank.
But I like to have some templates ready, for those times you want to sit and immediately start composing. Imagine you've spent some time designing a kit of drums to your taste, along with a kick and bass, some leads and pads, some ready-made fx. If you make a template with this sounds ready to fire and costumized i/o routings, midi settings (if you're using hardware gear), maybe sends and returns for fx, you'll thank yourself one day. |

My template had quite information.But actually, I did it just to remind the various techniques that I was learning.
Every time I open the software, these techniques were in front of me and helped me fixed and memorize.
But this just to help my studies. |

the only change i made was save the template at 145BPM so dont have to alter tempo it much every time,
but i think workflow can still be improved with it
