duplicate audio file question

Post by poldo »

Hello,

I there an equivalent to Protools "duplicate" command in DP where a selected soundbite copies itself and gets pasted end to end ?
I know it's possible with Option-Control-Drag but it's not easy at all when you want to do it on very very small fragments of soundbites and for a long duration...

thanks,
poldo

Yes, it's under the Audio pull-down menu. It's called Duplicate.

I know about the duplicate in the audio menu, only that it makes a copy of the file above on top of it. I would like the copy to paste itself next to the original soundfile (like in pro tools)

There's Paste Repeat under the Edit window. You simply select a soundbite or time range and Copy, then select a new time range (however long you want) (sometimes it's easier to just add to the current selection) and Paste Repeat. The time range will fill with as many repeats as needed.

It's funny Shooshie, I would've sworn that you actually had this in the tip sheet? :roll:
