Another method is the following
· Select the entire track you wish to move and select copy special to place it's contents in to the clipboard. Make sure you select all the relevant items that are in your source track.
· With the track still selected, save the track as a track template - that way you get a copy of all the track parameters, effects, and bus sends, etc.
· Open your designation protect.
· Insert from track template and insert the track you saved before.
· Move your now marker to the beginning of your project and select paste special. Make sure you select all the relevant items automation, markers, tempo changes if present and required.
Hopefully your pasted track should have the same contents and characteristics of the source.
