Copying and Pasting Envelopes
You can copy and paste envelopes or parts of envelopes between tracks
and clips. You cannot, however, copy and paste a clip envelope without
also copying and pasting the audio or MIDI data that is in that clip. If you
paste a clip envelope into a track without the clip that it came from, the clip
envelope becomes a track envelope.
To Copy an Envelope
1. In the Track view or the Clips pane, select the track or clip that has the
envelope you want to copy. If you want to copy all the automation data
in the track, select the whole track. If you want to select only a clip, but
want to select any track envelopes in that track, click the dropdown
arrow next to the Select tool , and make sure that the Select Track
Envelopes With Selected Clips option has a checkmark next to it.
2. Press Ctrl+C or use the Edit-Copy command.
The Copy dialog box appears.
3. Choose Clip Automation and/or Track/Bus Automation.
Note: If the Track/Bus Automation field is greyed-out, you must re-
select a part of the clip that contains either a node or a solid line
(shape). A dotted line by itself is not an envelope and can not be
copied.
4. Choose any other kinds of data you want to copy—if you only want to
copy the automation data, choose only Track/Bus Automation and/or
Clip Automation.
5. Click OK.
SONAR copies the data you selected to the clipboard.
To Paste an Envelope
1. Select the track(s) and location (Now Time) you want to paste the data
to.
