Different Arrangements - How To?

That would enable you to switch the parts around on a separate "arrangement" track.

I tried the copy/paste method. It worked but it took a little time to set up (e.g. I had to bounce SD3 to stereo) and without markers, all the switching around made playing along a little awkward. The arrangement still isn't done so I'll try this playlist method.

The use case is I want to audition different arrangements until I find one that feels right and I really don't want to do this in another DAW if I can avoid it. I know this is niche.

Just for completeness, this was the easiest way for me to decide on the right arrangement. I bounced drums, bass and keys to a stereo file and then loaded it into a reference track at the top of my edit window. I then cut up the sections and renamed them (e.g. verse 1, bridge, etc.). Then I made different playlists with the different arrangements until I found the one that I liked best.

Thanks again to the community for all the help.
