Copying tracks
When you copy one or more tracks using the Track view Tracks > Clone Track(s) command, you
can choose any of the following options:
• What to copy: events, properties, effects, sends
• Repetitions: how many copies of each selected track
• Starting track: where you want the first new track to appear
To copy tracks
1. Select the tracks that you want to copy.
2. Click the Track view Tracks menu and choose Clone Track(s) to open the Clone Track(s)
dialog box.
3. Check the Clone Events, Clone Properties, Clone Effects, and/or Clone Sends boxes to
indicate which items you want to copy.
4. If you want copied events to become linked clips, check the Link to Original Clips check box.
5. Select the number of repetitions of each selected track that you want to create.
6. Select the track number where you want the first new track to appear. The other new tracks
appear right after it.
7. Click OK.
SONAR copies the tracks and pastes the selected tracks, with the first new track appearing at the
track number you selected. All tracks appear consecutively.
Erasing tracks
You can easily delete an entire track, including all of the track properties and all of its clips and
events. Sometimes, you only want to erase, or wipe, the contents of a track, leaving the track
properties as they are. If you delete or wipe a track by mistake, you can use Edit > Undo to restore
the deleted material.
When you delete or wipe a track, the track information is not placed on the SONAR clipboard. To
remove material from a track and place it on the clipboard, use the Edit > Cut command instead.
To delete tracks
1. Select the tracks you want to delete.
2. Click the Track view Tracks menu and choose Delete Track(s).
SONAR deletes the selected tracks. You can also right-click individual tracks and choose Delete
Track from the pop-up menu.
Note: When cloning an Instrument track, a new MIDI track is created and assigned to the same
soft synth as the cloned instrument track.
