Is there a way to combine multiple MIDI clips to make them one? I found a beat I like in Session Drummer, dropped it in the song, copied and pasted a couple kicks til it was perfect and was ready to extend the beat. However the one clip is now several since I copied and pasted within the clip. Is there any way to combine these into one extendable clip?

To combine clips
1. Select the clips you want to combine (the clips must be on the same track).
2. Right-click on of the clips and select Bounce to Clip(s) from the pop-up menu.

Oh ok, I thought that was for freezing to audio. Thanks for the response!

No, you're thinking of bounce to TRACK, which does a similar thing to freeze except it doesn't actually Freeze anything.

I'm not explaining this very well.

Bounce to track (if there's a synth involved) will render all of your Midi into Audio (and creates a new track(s))

Freezing a synth does the same the but also removes the synth from memory and doesn't create new track(s)

Freezing a track does the same but also prints your Fx and disables the Fx bin, though parts of this are an option.

So I would bounce to track when I wanted to have the sound that the track had and I want to reuse the synth/track for something else?

In that case, you could just clone the track. Right-click the track number or header and choose Clone Track.
