Editing several tracks at once.

Post by Noumenon »

In my old cubase days I loved the way the folders worked.
I usually have two tracks per guitar; one DI and one from the amp.
I would then collapse the folder and start editing the "folder track", and both the DI- and amp-track would be cut/copied/pasted/erased/etc... at the same time, same places etc.

Now, there isn't this "folder track" in dp, but is there a way to link two or more tracks together to work in a similar way?

I usually end up with DI+AMP per guitar, and a total of four rhythm guitars, that's alot of headache when you can't edit them at the same time. Seems kind of an obvious thing that shouldn't have been left out.

Thoughts?

I usually don't like the software to do too much things without me asking for it. I like DP because it's entirely customizable. Of course you have to think of everything so it can be a two sided Blade but that's the feeling I've got from working in Cubase.

OF COURSE I DON'T WANT TO START A WAR HERE SO MY POST IS WORTH WHAT IT'S WORTH...
