Difference between Duplicate and Consolidate in Pro Tools 7?

[pmcminn]

Hi -

Quick query that I couldn't find a google answer to...

For the work I do I need to prepare duplicated WAVs using the Audiosuite > Duplicate tool. As there's no shortcut for this function, I was wondering if consolidating regions into one 'wav' file is exactly the same? There's obvs a shortcut for this and would speed me up loads.


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Duplicate will do just that. Duplicate the same clip. Consolidate is taking all the selected clips on a track and make one big clip instead of multiple little ones. *Coughs* Just saw you were still on 7 so that's duplicate regions / consolidate regions

Thanks for this reply....

But -

If you select a number of regions and Audiosuite>Duplicate, you can create one continuous file as you described as 'consolidating'...

Is this the same as the Consolidate function?

Thanks.
