Hi,
Saw a video from CM mag of someone using cubase (I think) and when they copied and pasted an audio track repeated pastes (Ctl+V) caused the clips to be pasted after each other not on top of each other.
Seemed like it made workflow very very fast.
Just an idea…
I quite often paste midi events in particular (drum patterns) and want them repeated over and over so I’d love this kind of deature in podium.
Thanks,
Mike G

You can do that already, even easier than copy&paste (which, by the way, always pastes to the position of your edit cursor)! Just select the event you want duplicated and press INSERT on your keyboard. 😉

Unfortunately, it ignores the snap setting, so if your parts aren’t perfectly cut (unlikely with MIDI) you might have to move them in place manually. And of course, it only works on single events.

Excellent. 😀
I thought there must be something, just didn’t fiond it. Whenever people post to ask for shortcut keys and shortcuts frits has usually already thought of it…
Thanks

Since this was placed in the future board, I might as well formulate those drawbacks into suggestions for improvement:

1- ‘Insert’ should use the desired snap value, as long as the inserted event won’t overlap with the previous one. If snap’s disabled it should work the way it does right now.

2- It should work with multiple selected events, even across multiple tracks. Just imagine – you could create a whole house track in under a minute! 😆 (j/k)

By the way, what’s the difference between ‘insert event’ and ‘paste event’ in the edit menu?
