Editing Across Multiple
Tracks
When working with data from multiple tracks,
there are some important points to remember.
For example, if any selected tracks are set to their
master view (see “Master Views for Tracks” on
page 240), edits affect not only audio and MIDI for
the selected tracks, but all automation and control-
ler data as well.
If all selected tracks are displayed as automation
data, edits only affect the type of automation data
displayed in each track. Furthermore, if track 1 dis-
plays Pan automation, track 2 displays Volume au-
tomation, and track 3 displays Mute automation,
the
Cut command cuts only pan data from track 1,
volume data from track 2, and mute data from
track 3.
To copy all types of automation on all selected
tracks when copying only automation or controller
data:
 Choose Edit > Copy Special > All Automation.
To paste to multiple tracks:
1 Do one of the following:
• Place the insertion point in each of the destina-
tion tracks by Shift-clicking in them.
• Make a selection in one of the Timebase rulers.
2 Choose Edit > Paste.
When you paste multiple types of data, whatever
data has been copied is pasted into the correct type
of playlist. Automation data is pasted into the cor-
responding automation playlist. Audio or MIDI
data is pasted into the audio or MIDI playlist. You
do not need to set target tracks to the specific type
of data being pasted for the paste to work correctly.
If all destination tracks in a multitrack paste are
displayed as automation, the paste replaces any
previous data on the target track without shuf-
fling—regardless of whether Shuffle Clips is
enabled.
For more information on selecting data on
multiple tracks, see “Selecting Across Multi-
ple Tracks” on page 638.
