are we talking about templates of tunes or DAW templates..

cause if its DAW templates then theres nothing wrong with having your sampler loaded up and your fave synths loaded etc.. no differant to having your studio already wired. (and who in there right mind would re-wire their hardware everytime theey write a new track.

also i'll usually have my sends/fx channels on my template..

but if we're talking about having sequences already templated then i agree its pointless and counter-productive.
