Hi Wookie and all,
Thanks for replying so quickly
I tried the advice but didn't work - not you but me I suspect -however I think that it forced me into individual track drag and drop etc - the drums were a bit of a pain but overall when you realise what your dealing with it's not too much of a drag(ha ha hope you get the pun)
Fortunately, it was only a quick demo that I was trying to get into shape but I suspect it does raise an issue that if your into serious recording and you wish to experiment with an arrangement you could be bogged down in a hell of a lot of drag and drop. Anyway, fortunately tonight the muse stayed with me - just about i.e. workflow.
However, if anyone has any tips and considerations of this issue they would be most welcome
My thanks again Wookie and all - have a hit one
Best
Ed
