Two Questions: Rename Clip and Duplicate Clip
As stated in a previous post (yesterday, I think), I have been a Sonar user since 2008. I found that previous versions of Sonar were superior to all others for my mixing and mastering needs. Recording, not so much; for that I used Live. However, since moving into X1, I find that recording is a lot easier than Live, especially for x64 machines. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the differences between Sonar X1 and Live 8. As such, my questions will be kinda newbie. And, yes...I have looked for these answers elsewhere before posting here (always do). Please have mercy until I get up to speed with this awesome software.
That being stated, I have two questions today. I'm building a drum track from scratch. Of course, this means I'm recording small bits and parts and then properly piecing them together for later adjustment. I'm using MIDI, not recording directly to audio.
1. CLIP DUPLICATION - Sonar's copy and paste is too cumbersome. it makes a lot of sense for audio but not really for MIDI (at least for me). Live had an easy way to duplicate a MIDI clip through the right click menu. Is there a way to do this in Sonar, too. or am I stuck with the time-wasting Copy & Paste method?
2. CLIP RENAMING - Sonar 7 & 8 had a way of renaming a newly recorded clip. For the life of me (and maybe I've just forgotten how), I can't figure out how to do this in X1. For example, changing a clip's auto-generated label from Record 3 to Kick 1a.
That should be it for today. Many thanks to those who can guide me with these.
