Duplicating clips

To duplicate the selected clip(s), do one of the following:

Press CTRL+D

To duplicate the selected clip(s) as linked clips, press CTRL+SHIFT+D

Click the Track view Clips menu and select Duplicate Selected Clip(s)

Right-click in the Clips pane and select Duplicate Selected Clip(s) on the pop-up menu

 

The following rules apply when duplicating clips:

Only events and clip automation are copied.

The new clip(s) will be pasted immediately after the existing clip(s), respecting the current Ripple Edit settings.

To respect the current Snap to Grid settings, go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Editing and select Use Current Snap Settings on Duplicate Selected Clip(s).

After duplication, the Now time is forwarded to the end of the duplicate (with the duplicate selected), so you can press CTRL+D again to make multiple duplicates

Unlike a normal paste, the current track will have no bearing on where the duplicates are pasted. Duplicates will always appear on the same tracks/lanes as the source selection.

 

Tip: If you want to quickly create many repetitions, use the Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste Special commands.

 

Tip: Duplicate Selected Clip(s) (CTRL+D) also works on Note events in the Piano Roll.
