Replace all audio clips in track?
Is it possible to select all clips in a track and replace them with another audio file? For example, say I have a kick drum sample on a track (hundreds of clips for the entire song) and I decide I want to change the sample later, is there a feature where I can select all clips and replace them with a different sample? I know I could use something like Battery, or even Sonar's own Session Drummer, but I really prefer working with audio files vs MIDI. Thanks :)
Did you spill something on your keyboard, or are you just happy to chat with me?

I think do delete all the clips you need to select them all and hit delete. How I would approach that is either mute that track or archive it and create another track.

You can also go to tracks -> wipe track(s) to delete all of the clips in a track(s) . Oops...I should have read the original post.  Rocky

I think OP wants to replace all the current kick hits with a new kick sound. Select the kick track > Choose Audio Transients in the track's control pane from the Edit Filter. Now all your kick hits should be highlighted. You may have to manually highlight lower volume hits. Then you replace all those with your new kick sample. I don't know exactly how to do this yet but... Seth and Brandon do this in the drum production webinar... http://www.cakewalk.com/CakeTV/Live.aspx Cheers.

You can do it with audio snap copying the transients and paste them to a new track by "Copy Midi" then replace them with SD3 samples or your own.
I think you will have to bounce the clips first on that track for the copy to work correctly (I could be wrong on that)

Slate Digital trigger is awesome for this.

Thanks for all the replies, but I'm not trying to delete the clips, I'm trying to replace the audio. Let's say I have 16 bars of a 4/4 kick (call it Kick1.wav). That would be 64 separate clips, one on every beat. Some time later I want to change all the kick samples to Kick2.wav without using any MIDI functions. Imagine right-clicking an audio clip and having a "replace sample" option.
I've looked for it in many places to no avail. I'm afraid there is no such feature at this point in time, but I thought I'd ask :)

Dude... watch that webinar. Audiosnap will do what you want. I'd detail the process but as I said I haven't gotten that far yet. In your case you would just replace the section you want kick 2 to be and leave the rest alone... or you could do it in two tracks which might be better anyway because then you could mix/EQ both kicks separately.
Cheers.

or you could just record the second kick in the section you want and crop the original kick out. Even easier would be to use the Step Sequencer or create a Groove clip and stretch it out. And MIDI will use audio samples (Session Drummer uses real samples) so I'm not sure why you'd avoid it for a kick.
Lots of ways to do this if the project is in time.

aaaand you can bounce the MIDI clip to audio and it will behave exactly like an audio clip... because it is an audio clip.

Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2eecggyVr0 on replacing drums with audiosnap. Bounce the clips to one clip. use audiosnap to create midi from the clip, use your favorite VSTi to trigger whatever kick drum sound you would like to use. There may not be a simple copy / paste solution but the work around isn't bad if this is something you really want to do. Rocky

You can drag and drop an audio sample kick into Session Drummer. Then you can just copy your kicks to a new midi track, triggered by the session drummer kick (with your audio sample loaded) Or you can render your midi kick track to audio. Show transients. Then insert a new track under your old midi kick. Tab to each transient in the midi kick track, and paste in the new audio kick at every transient, this way lines up with the previous kick.

Perhaps not terribly elegant, but I have used a quick and dirty trick for this sort of thing before.
Temporarily rename the file.
Change Kick1.wav to something else, like Kick1Holding.wav.
Rename Kick2.wav to Kick1.wav.
This works because the clip itself is not actually in your track. The track just contains markers telling Sonar to play Kick1.wav at X point in time.
Play the track to make sure it sounds right.
Bounce the track, and you're done.
Don't forget to change the file names back to their original state.
