Move all takes via Clipping?

Post by Babz »

Is there a way to drag a Track (with all its Takes) to a Clipping and then import it into another DP project and have all the Takes included?

Seems like I can only do it one take at a time...

That's a toughie. Just spent about 20 minutes looking for a way to do this. Thought there might be trick with Track Grouping, not to no avail. :(

Maybe this
Take Menu: “Turn Takes into Tracks”
Drag then to a clipping window
Import them into the new project
Select this tracks
Take menu :”Absorb Selected Tracks"

Yes, that works!

Just tried it and wanted to post an update.

The other thing about Clippings is that when you have items in a Track folder and you send the folder to Clippings and drag it into a new project, the items do not remain within the folder.

I like to keep my all Virtual Instruments audio and MIDI tracks in a folder; can't imagine working any other way. If I export/import an Instrument track folder (containing MIDI Audio tracks), they come through as three separate items. It would be so much better if Folders full of tracks could be exchanged between projects via Clippings, but I haven't yet been able to find a way.

I also wish Instrument tracks were one unit like in other DAWs (but we've debated that before, and I can see both sides of the issue).

Best,
Babz
