copy or move channels

Sorry, maybe a dumb question:
Is there a possibility for mixer 2448 to copy or move a channel with all its settings?

(I often have the need to rearrange to instruments and tracks during the development of a song. Because I want certain groups of instruments I sometimes have to shift a bunch of channels when I want to insert something - which is tediously when effects, eq and compression are allready set and I have to adjust them once again.)

thx - melger

Save the channel's preset and load it in another channel. Are restored: everything except cc# assignments and side chain inputs, these have to be done manually.

... or in ProTools.

But that's the good tip, at0mIc, I forgot about it

yes, a good tip

I used a similar solution for some lost mixer channels of the Cubase mixer.
Let me explain this here, as Melger got helped out already

I had deleted a VST Instrument after I made an audio track of it's content as a temporairy dummy.
(I did this to free some Cubase resources).

I forgot that the channels representing that VST instrument get deleted too, so I lost the settings of those channels in that current song/arrangement.

But in a former version of my song everything was still there.
I saved the relevant VSTi channels from there by making them active (by clicking on the button under the fader) and saving them from the mixer's 'file' command, on the left side.

After loading the newest song version I loaded a new instance of the instrument, this way creating the channels again.
To get the settings of those channels I loaded the file saved before.
Works perfect.

Another maybe well known, trick:
You know you can copy/paste channel's settings within a Cubase song?
Just open the channel's settings you wanne copy from and to, and...copy/paste.

That works great. Thanks a lot.
