Question

Apparently, you can only duplicate a track with either

1. the complete track with the regions included, witch is not linked with the duplicated plugin (so u can make changes independently).

2. the track without the regions included, but with the plugins linked to each other like 1 plugin instance.

i want the option number 1 without the regions included, its so messy to duplicate a track and having to select all the regions on that track in order to delete them.

I tried to make a macro, witch went like this:

1. TrackDuplicate (complete)

2.EditSelect All on Tracks

3.EditDelete

now this is very messy, lets say my first track was named Impact 1, and i had a region on that track,

then when i duplicate it with the macro, it makes a duplicate underneath with the region on it ( Impact 2 ),

and it removes the region from the the duplicated one ( Impact 1 ) .

So now the first one is kinda the duplicate.

I would be very pleased if you resolved this issue.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Just add a line to the macro that navigates to the “duplicate” track before selecting all and deleting

It’s not a bad idea but there are about 100 features I’d rather see before this one

Answer 2

in fact, current `Track|Duplicate' is broken for macros (at least up to 4.5.1 that I verified), it does not transfer focus to a new track(s) as it should.

`Navigation|NextTrack' does not solve this problem as it:

1. breaks the ability to use macro with multiple tracks

2. does not work when the selected track is last one

I've created a support ticket #492441 in February for this, they confirmed this is a bug and they can reproduce it, but no news yet when they're going to fix it.

Answer 3

exacly, its a bug. Presonus, please fix this!

Answer 4

Agree, year after - it's still a bug. I've tried to make the same macro, and I somewhat happy that I'm not alone...
