[Solved] Can you copy an effect from one track to another - like with Pro Tools?

Hi all. Just been watch a tutorial and I saw this guy creating a standard compressor and adjusting it, and then copying it over to several tracks. Can we do this in Sonar? I couldn't see a copy/paste link.
 
Thanks

    Fabio:
     
    I do this by bringing up the Console view, then Ctrl-drag the effect (in the effects bin) from the source track to the other target tracks' effects bin where I want to place the effect.
     
    Hope this helps,
    Paul

    Ctl-drag works in Track View, too.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Another option is to save the preset as "temp" and call it up in the other compressor. I do this if I think I'm going to want to use the same settings later on in the project.

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!
