Best way to merge two projects?

Hey y'all,
One of the projects is all MIDI except for a couple of vocal tracks, the other (which I'd like to put at the end on a specific beat of the other) is all MIDI....most of the instruments in the 2nd project are used in the first also (ie both have 5 tracks of Cinematic Strings 2) but some aren't (ie 2 instances of Z3ta2 in the 2nd).
I know X2 isn't doing nested projects yet but I wonder if a track template would work....just checking my options before copy/pasting all this stuff (including automation).
Thanks very much,
Randy

    I believe there is a video that shows how to merge two projects. IIRC, you drag the project from the browser. You can then set things how you want.
     
    HTH

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

    I just made a big mess doing that and had had to bail....probably because I had everything on different track numbers and it loaded all the synths I already had in the 1st project.
    I think it would be best if I just copy/paste individual tracks into the appropriate tracks.
    Thanks anyway Robert,
    Randy

    You could save one of the entire projects as a Track Template... and load that into the other.

    That's what I was thinking Jim but I can't find a way to make it save the data on the tracks (which is all I really need)

    If all you need is the MIDI data, save the project as a MIDI file and import the MIDI file into the other project.

    I tried that but wound up with another mess...sorry to be a dumb-ass here guys but is there a way to just clone a track from one project to another?

    You can copy tracks one by one between songs. It goes fairly quickly.

    Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

    You can copy more than one track at a time between projects too. Select tracks, copy then paste special starting with a new track.
