Craig, Thanks for mentioning Clone Track. Even if I don't clone the content, setting up a track with EQ, input, reverb sends, etc. and then cloning it 11 times for cutting harmonies is a huge time-saver. This is something that could never have been done with hardware.
I also clone content before editing so I have a safety copy.
One trick we've discussed here before: to double lead or harmony vocals on a chorus (or any repetitive section), clone the track and then reverse the choruses on the clone (put chorus 1 where chorus 2 is and vice-versa).
