Protools editing question

Stoneroses6300 · 23rd January 2007, 08:33 PM

Ok, I'm laying sown an acoustic part with 2 mics...It's a repeating part so I want to take one solid take of it and loop it throughout the rest of the song (lining it up witht he drum,bass and what not)...I have no problem highlighting the section and putting the track together...The problem I'm having is taking both miced tracks and copying them together and pasting them together. When I copy them both (the segments I want to loop), and I try to paste them both together, only one of them gets pasted to the track...It's the one that I happen to have the cursor over when I "paste"...So, how can I get both copied tracks to be pasted together...Thank you...

click on the first track where you want to paste. hold shift and hit the ; key. That'll select the next track down. Then paste and it'll work.

Yup, holding down shift will work.

You can also group them (CTRL+G.) That way, they'll always be edited/trimmed/moved together regardless of what you're doing. You can activate/suspend groups at will by selecting/deselecting them in the lower left corner of the edit window under the track list (after clicking that << arrow down there.)

Damn, it's that simple...Is there ever an end to how much shit there is to learn with protools?
