Copy/Pasting tracks

[Oscar Martín Díez-Canseco]

Hello.

I am new in this forum but I have been user of Cakewalk Application since 3.0.

First of all I want to give thank you for all you make possible to make this free.

I want to share with you an issue I have that is not being solved in Cakewalk by Bandlab, but this issue wasn't there when Cakewalk it was Sonar.

When I copy one track and I paste it I need to first click the track before doing that, if not it being pasted anywhere else. This step finally makes all the edition slower if you need to do additional clicks everytime you want to copy/paste something. This is happening even is the track where you want to paste it is highlighted as selected.

As this problem wasn't in Sonar I guess that is anything to be solved, and let me tell you that I have Cakewalk Bandlab installed in more thatn one computer and it happens in both of them.

Is anyone having the same issue?

I am not sure what you are trying to do. Sometimes a picture can be very useful. Are you trying to duplicate a clip further along the same track or copy one track to a different track?

I'm just copy pasting any kind of track. The issue is that is not being pasted in the right track unless I click on this track everytime I do the paste, even if this tracks is selected.

That's the way it is supposed to work.

You have to bring the target track in focus first. Otherwise the copied data will paste into the same track as copied from, or whatever track is already in focus (track name highlighted).

You can hold down Crtl and drag the clip anywhere you want and it will be copied. Works both midi and audio . Just don't let go until it's were you want it. And helps to turn snap on to the appropriate value. I use 1/8th  note often.
