Editing Across Multiple Tracks
When working with data from multiple tracks,
there are some important points to remember.
For example, if any selected tracks are set to
their master view (see “Master Views for Tracks”
on page 338), edits affect not only audio and
MIDI for the selected tracks, but
all automation
and controller data as well.
If all selected tracks are displayed as automation
data, edits only affect the type of automation
data displayed in each track. Furthermore, if
track 1 displays Pan automation, track 2 displays
Volume automation, and track 3 displays Mute
automation, the Cut command cuts
only pan
data from track 1, volume data from track 2, and
mute data from track 3.
To copy all types of automation on all selected
tracks when copying only automation or controller
data:
■
Press and hold the Start key (Windows) or
Control (Mac), and choose Edit > Copy Special >
All Automation.
To paste to multiple tracks:
1
Do one of the following:
• Place the insertion point in each of the des-
tination tracks by Shift-clicking in them
• Alt-Shift-click (Windows) or Option-Shift-
click (Mac) in a track to select all tracks
• Make a selection in one of the Timebase
rulers.
2
Choose Edit > Paste.
When you paste multiple types of data, what-
ever data has been copied is pasted into the cor-
rect type of playlist. Automation data is pasted
into the corresponding automation playlist. Au-
dio or MIDI data is pasted into the audio or
MIDI playlist. You do not need to set target
tracks to the specific type of data being pasted
for the paste to work correctly.
If all destination tracks in a multitrack paste are
displayed as automation, the paste replaces any
previous data on the target track without shuf-
fling—regardless of whether you are in Slip or
Shuffle mode.
For more information on selecting data on
multiple tracks, see “Selecting Across Multi-
ple Tracks” on page 404.
