Moving And Copying Clips - CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO User Manual

Moving and Copying Clips

You can copy or move clips using drag-and-drop editing or the Cut, Copy,
and Paste commands. If you copy or move clips into tracks that contain
existing material, you need to let Pro Audio know how to combine the
two. You have three options:
Option...
Blend Old and New
Replace Old with New
Slide Over to Make Room
When you use the Edit-Paste command to add information to a track
that contains existing material, there is one Þnal option you can choose.
Option...
Paste as New Clips
Paste into Existing Clips
Note that if you copy or move clips to new, empty tracks, you donÕt have
to worry about these settings. In this case, the track properties that go
with the clips are automatically applied to the new track.
How it works...
Events in the copied or moved clip are
placed into a new clip that overlaps with
the existing clip. This is the same effect
as sound-on-sound recording.
Events in the copied or moved clip are
placed into a new clip, and any
overlapping events in the existing clip are
erased. This is the same effect as
overwrite recording.
The existing clips are shifted in time to
make room for the new clips, so they will
not overlap. If you check the Align to
Measures option, shifted clips are always
aligned to measure boundaries;
otherwise, the clips are placed end to
end.
What it means...
New clips are created containing the
events on the clipboard, exactly as
described in the preceding table.
The events on the clipboard are merged
into any existing clips that occupy the
same region of time. This means you will
never end up with clips that overlap.
