Copying audio clips

[Bill Stephan]

Mark the audio clip you want to copy, copy to clipboard with C key, load into source monitor using drop down menu above source monitor (clipboard contents), edit into sequence where desired.

Or if you don’t like that way, select the segment you want to copy in segment/overwrite (red arrow) mode. Then press CTRL+c to copy it, activate the track where you want it to go, and press CTRL+v to paste it.

good luck,
Carl

Or, you can mark the clip in and out, select only the track you want to copy (say A1) ALT & C which will copy the selection to the source monitor. Then patch to the track you want to overwrite into (say A2) and use the ovewrwite button (red arrow). HTH

Hi Bill Thanks,

but I have no options for pasting from clipboard in the source monitor after CTRL C copying an audio clip from the timeline. Any ideas why this is?

Hi Carl,

When I try this method, I ctrl c to copy after going into segment mode, then deselect A1, A2 and select A3, A4 and ctrl v paste and it still puts the audio tracks in A1, A2! I can’t get it to put them down below for anything! Any ideas on how to do it, or what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks,
J

Hi John,

The method in my previous post should achieve what you want. Mark the section of the clip you want to copy with in + out points. Use alt + c to copy the selection to the source monitor (whichever tracks are selected will be copied). Now splice in or insert as normal (using red (B) or yellow (V) arrows) patching the source side tracks to the appropriate record side tracks i.e. V1 > V2

Hope this helps
