Copy Paste Envelope

I am trying to copy a volume envelope from one audio track to another. It should be simple. In fact it has been described in the Sonar Help File under Copy Envelope. But I cant copy any envelopes at all. I know that envelopes sometimes behaves a little funny. Is this just one of these things or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks. If you are referring to Select Track Envelopes With Selected Clips Option it is selected. In the Copy Options everything is checked incl. Track/bus automation just as the manual says.. I still cant find a way to copy.

Also, make sure that you move the playback cursor to the point where you want the copied envelope segment to be pasted.

If for example, you copy the envelope from measures 20 to 24, but the cursor is sitting at measure 100, it will be pasted at measure 100. So it's possible that you ARE successfully copying the envs, but not where you think you are, and so you'll have envelope data in places where you don't want it.

Also be sure that you select the track that you want to copy to before you do the actual paste.

Also note that (at least through Sonar 7) it is not possible to cleanly copy an envelope segment from one section of a bus to another section of the SAME bus. To do this, you first have to temporarily paste the segment to a track, then copy/cut it again, and then paste it to the bus. Not sure if that's a bug or just a flakey implementation.

HTH

Make sure you're using the menus to copy & paste, i.e. go Edit > Copy (make your selections), then Edit > Paste (make your selections)

You CAN'T copy envelopes using Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V

Jose, whenever I've tried using Ctrl+C , the WHOLE of the track, including actual track data as well as all automation data is copied - how are you doing this?

AL already answered your question Bristol.

By the way, I almost sounded like Barack Obama on my previous post ("Yes, you can" :-P).

I'm trying to copy some automation nodes in an instrument track to a later point in the song and no matter what selections I make in paste>advanced it just moves the original nodes to the paste point rather than copying them.
What am I missing please?

I'm having the same issue here as maxsax

 
I contacted support about this. They said use select tool and alt to select nodes from left to right to copy. In my simple test project this usually worked as expected though on one occasion out of 5 tests it didn't.  In real projects just drag selecting nodes with envelope tool copying and pasting can cause all sorts of issues.

Glad you convinced them. I dont think they believe in me any more :-)
