Dragging/Merging Two Clips Doesn't Redraw Waveform

[garry]

I have two mono guitar clips on separate tracks that make up one part (it was too hard to play at once). I wanted to combine the two tracks into a single mono track for mixing, so I dragged the clip from one track onto the other. The resulting audio is fine, but I expected to see a redrawn waveform that showed the merged clips. Note that combine old and new was enabled, so I expected to end up with a single merged clip on the track.

I've tried Bounce to Track(s) but it always creates separate tracks. There doesn't seem to be an option to merge all the selected tracks into one track. 

I suppose I could solo the two tracks and do an export of the entire mix to a mono track, then import it, but that seems like a PITA. There has to be a simple way to combine some number of selected tracks into a single track (either stereo or mono, with or without processing).

THANKS!

Bounce to CLIP 

Select the entire track

Right click either clip and select Bounce to Clip

Thanks! When I tried Bounce to Clip(s) to merge clips from two tracks, it did nothing. I see what's happening now...

When I drag clip A onto clip B, I only see either clip A or clip B as they are separate clips/lanes (take lanes hidden). If I show Take Lanes, I can see the two overlapping (not merged) clips and the resultant merged waveform.

If I then use Bounce to Clip(s) on the track, the two take lanes/clips are then merged into a single clip with the merged waveform being shown.

It would be nice if SONAR defaulted to displaying the waveform of the audio that was being played (the merged waveform of the separate overlapping lanes) without having to turn Take Lanes on or bouncing the clips together so that what I see matches what I hear.

Now I can continue my Bride of Frankenstein editing on this mix. Mixing would be so much more enjoyable if people could just play their parts correctly. Polishing turds is not fun...
