I only used the smart tool for moving, delete which was a combination of select with the smart tool and the delete key. As mentioned before I do not perform copy/paste/move/delete with the transport running.
I understand. I think I discovered it because I will create drum tracks on the fly, with the transport running. Dragging MIDI files in, copying the MIDI clip if I like it (rather than groove clipping, etc... and now there's that new feature in Platinum to do that as well). I can "usually" stay ahead of the "now time" and keep adding clips, rolls....OR I'll make loop points, stretch them out or move them as needed, etc.
That way I'm not always stop/starting playback. I just keep creating as the song is playing. Looping has been my friend.
thx again Scook. You always seem to go above and beyond.
