Moving and copying clips
You can copy or move clips using drag-and-drop editing or the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands. If
you copy or move clips into tracks that contain existing material, you need to let SONAR know how
to combine the two.
You have these options:
Option How it works
Blend Old and New Events in the copied or moved clip are placed into a new clip that overlaps with
the existing clip. This is the same effect as sound-on-sound recording.
Replace Old with New Events in the copied or moved clip are placed into a new clip, and any
overlapping events in the existing clip are erased. This is the same effect as
overwrite recording.
Slide Over to Make Room The existing clips are shifted in time to make room for the new clips, so they will
not overlap. If you check the Align to Measures option, shifted clips are
always aligned to measure boundaries; otherwise, the clips are placed end to
end.
