I use a PreSonus Studio26c for my home setup and another one for my live setup.
Rig Manager is used to change between the setups.
Each time I load a setup in Rig manager the buffer size is set to 512 and I have to change it to 128 manually, which leads to a kind of reload of the gig file.
Is there a way to store the buffer size?
Thx a lot.
Currently Rig Manager only addresses MIDI - not audio.
The best practice when you change interfaces, is to open GP while holding Shift key down so as to prevent the last gig file from opening. Then change the audio settings and just quit and restart GP again

I have 2 Arturia MiniFuse1’s that I use. One at home and one for live use. Never had an issue with this. I did when I was using different interfaces but GP see’s both as the same device.
Just FYI as an additional consideration for Windows users. At the advice of @SteveC-Bome ,
I checked into VB-Audio Matrix to allow me to use multiple audio interfaces simultaneously. It does add a little lag. But I gained the benefit of using its default settings which have done a good job of forcing audio interfaces to run at my preferred sample rate and preferred buffer size. I’m not having to run it GP without a gig file, check those settings and then load my real gig file anymore. They just always come up the way I want them.
In addition, where I had to alter audio devices for a gig file when copied between my production computer and backup computer which used different physical devices, vb-matrix looks the same on both to GP and it connects without modifications.
Yes, I did. What I found was this. Using GP alone, I was having to run a 1024 buffer for 4 channels. It caused latency that was just barely detectable. I’m not a virtuoso, So, that tiny latency didn’t really impact my ability (of lack thereof) to play.
When I implemented VB-matrix, I played with latency. I can now run buffers at 128 with no problems. And the response time is immediate. If you implement VB matrix, you will need to make adjustments to avoid adding lag time.
I would have to say that, for me, VB matrix was an improvement even if I wasn’t using it to manage multiple devices. Overall latency is improved. GP doesn’t complain about devices when I copy gig files between computers. win-win.

I respect that this works for you, so don’t feel any pressure to change it, but for me an ASIO buffer size of 1024 samples is close to unplayable (assuming the sample rate is 44.1 or 48 Khz and your not referring to the Windows Audio buffers in VB matrix)
