Keeping mixes consistant across an album: is there any other way than this?

You can!! With Sonar, as with most other DAW's, you can store your track settings individually; same assigned effects, inserts, sends, etc. You can also save them altogether as templates like I mentioned earlier. I haven't used Sonar in a couple of years, but for sure the manual can tell you how to do it.

Ok, the daughter is in bed, the wife is in the living room with a friend and I'm gonna dig into the manual and see if I can get this figured out... thanks!
 
Gotta say thanks again to Chili! I found exactly what I was looking for. In fact, instead of exporting the entire track template, I am able to export the drum tracks to one file, the guitar to one, etc. With this particular album, I have two very slow, almost haunting songs that require their own approach then the rest are medium to up-tempo songs that all have about the same feel. This is really useful so thanks to all for the help.
 
Well the term "template" isn't quite what I had hoped. It brings over the names of the tracks but not much else. It does not bring over the individual tracks' volume, EQ, AUX sends, etc. So I think since i owe this band some mixes I'll go back to my way of doing it... too bad, might have been cool.
 
Well, if nothing else you now know how to get there for the next time. :)

For sure there is a way to do what you want. Cubase does it exactly how you are asking, so I can't imagine a program like Sonar couldn't do it also. I hope you can figure it out.

Yeah, Cubase will save basically every little aspect of a mix in a template. I would hope Sonar would do the same. If not, well, time to change DAW.........

Son. Of. A. BITCH!!! How the hell did I not know that?!?

Thanks Chili for filling my brain with knowledge! I'm motivated to go post that on "Today I learned" on Reddit.
