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 drop-down 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.
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.
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.
