Recently had a problem recording to one of my drives, which caused vMix to have a HARD crash that basically reset its' preferences. Not sure how that happened.

I've been reconstituting my setup, loading a last saved state and my keyboard mapping. However, it appears at least part of my audio routing within vMix disappeared. I'm doing some things with 4 channel audio.

Is there a place where the previous audio setup might be saved? If not, is there a way to make sure I save it so that if this happens again, I don't have to work out what I did from scratch or hard to remember notes?

This has to do with

- Assigning an audio clip to a different buss (let's say B)
- Routing that buss out to a certain monitor output
- Setting that buss to channels 3&4
- Making sure that the busses remain separate (i.e. buss A and main don't rout to 3&$)
- Making sure that a feedback loop isn't created anywhere

I have had that a couple of times after sudden power loss, those are general settings and not project settings.
These settings are stored at %localappdata%\StudioCoast_Pty_Ltd\VMIX64.EXE_Url_5l40qvre1y15spmggwt1gelpnmwemdfj\23.0.0.65\user.config"
Where the 23.0.0.65 points to the folder of the version.
So each time you upgrade a version, a new folder is added. In same cases the user.config can get corrupted hence missing settings.
I run a daily scheduled task like:

mkdir c:\backupsettingsvmix
xcopy c:\programdata\vmix\settingbackups c:\backupsettingsvmix\settingsbackups /d
copy "%localappdata%\iStream Studio\*.xml" c:\backupsettingsvmix
copy "%localappdata%\iStream Studio\*.vmix" c:\backupsettingsvmix
copy "%localappdata%\StudioCoast_Pty_Ltd\VMIX64.EXE_Url_5l40qvre1y15spmggwt1gelpnmwemdfj\25.0.0.29\user.config" c:\backupsettingsvmix

to make sure i can always restore the general settings in case needed.
