KSband Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I have two separate songs that I want to combine into one, how is this done? I looked at import in file but it wasn't clear how that would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 So I did a drag and drop from my cakewalk projects folder but none of the fx came with the tracks , it's all just dry. Is there a way to get them over with everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecknot Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hi Kurt, Have you tried the drag and drop from the Media Browser? Kind regards, tecknot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 I didn't think of that for some reason but it accomplishes the same thing I did before, there is no processing on any of the tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 88 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The way I have done forever, probably outdated now...go to Preferences>File>Advanced and un-click "allow only one project at a time". Open both projects and copy the tracks you'd like into the target file. I have 2 monitors so I'd stretch CbB to fill both and have each file on it's own monitor just to keep things straight. I have always had heavy virtual instruments with tons of ram, so just to make this easier I would open the files in "safe" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57Gregy Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Apply all effects, bounce to tracks, apply trimming, etc. so the tracks are all audio with the effects burned in. Drag those effected tracks into your new project. Close the first project without saving. For the *****-retentive among us (raises hand) make a copy of the project before doing all of that.

KSband Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 OK, thanks. I was wondering if that's how it would have to be done, just being lazy and hoping for a way to not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Tim Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Try this: Open both projects in CbB. Switch to the source project. On your source project, select all of the tracks you want to copy to the new project, right click one of their track headers and save this as a Track Template. (Use a temporary name if you like, you can delete this template later) Switch to your new project. Right click anywhere in a blank spot of the track pane and choose Insert Track Template, and it'll recreate all of your tracks and busses with all effects intact. Switch back to your source project and select the tracks again, copy them. Switch to your new project, and paste that into the identical tracks. That should get you where you want to be!
