Pro Tools Copy/Paste Assist to new track is gone....
Hello,
I am on an iMac Pro (2017) Using Monterey 12.6 OS. I'm updated on the latest Pro Tools Studio Version 2022.9.0 Pro Tools had a copy/paste assist function that I had stumbled upon in the past and have loved using. It works as I select a region to copy on a selected track - I then click to select the track below, and a "mirror-region" appears, in that it perfectly mirrors the selection from the track I just copied from. I click 'Paste' and the audio is copied, exactly in the same timeline position as the audio above. Somehow this function seems to have disappeared - I may have some settings that are getting in the way? I've tried changing to different modes, 'Slip' and 'Grid', for example. But I can't locate it. When I try to do the copy/paste, I copy but my cursor won't situate itself on the track below (for pasting). I just get a cursor that spans vertically over all the tracks at once. I appreciate any assistance. Many Thanks, Frank B. |

Sounds like you want to enable “link timeline and edit selection”. That will get the behavior you’ve described.

You have also 'option-drag selection' to another track that will copy it.

It seems like there are many ways to do this kind of editing now. I got used to selecting a section >> Command-c (copy) >> ; (semi-colon - for next track down) or p (next track up) >> Command-v to paste. All stays correctly in time and you can then slide the ins and outs and add crossfades as needed. Slick!

Thanks Guys - The 'Link Timeline and Edit Selection' did the trick. Now if I can just remember that next time this comes up!
Thanks Guys !! |
