Track Lanes: By design, Or Bug? please confirm or deny: Anyone? Beuhler? Beuhler?
Insert audio track (do not open take lanes) copy/drop clip on track (using blend old and new) copy another copy another Open take lanes (another menu!!!) 3 take lanes with clips (Yea!!!) Close take lanes copy clip to track Open take lanes clip is stacked on take 1 (if track did not have focus) ??????????????????? And::: When the take lanes are open, clips CANNOT be dropped onto the "track." Only on the take lanes. Which means a take lane has to be created first: another click. This is not acceptable. Dropping a clip on a track should default to creating a new take lane, whether the take lanes are showing or not. Have I just not found how to change this "default" behavior?

That seems like it might be a bug. It doesn't make much sense for behaviour but I can confirm I see the same here.
I've only really used them for recording before so haven't noticed.

7 pm EDT: UTC -4 I was not clear about the current time and zones and such. You should be asleep soon. Or else not.

Based on what I read in another thread, what happens if you delete the lanes (not the clips), close lanes, and then open them again from the track? I'm wondering if this would act as a "rebuild" of sorts. Someday I'll actually have an internet computer in the studio for this kind of thing.

I don't understand. Are you trying to do something - or trying to find out what doesn't work? Why would you have take lanes open and try to drop onto the "track"? If you are trying to blend old and new by drag and dropping, why do you need take lanes? Is a dropped clip a take? Just wondering. Brian

I can see why the OP would want or even expect that behaviour. It's not the way I work but it would be the 'intelligent' thing to do if a clip is dropped onto a track with lanes already open. I certainly wouldn't expect it to hide behind an existing one any way. I'd be happy for it to happen as the OP thinks it should as long as CW promise NOT to bring back the "rebuild layers" er... "feature", not without a major overhaul anyway.

How did you manage to say what I was trying to say in just one word? : )

So you guys don't drag and drop clips between tracks?
I have 2 tracks with 3 takes each of the same instrument, recorded on different days.
I decide to use bits of both and to have them all in the same track
So, I have to create a new lanes, and then drag the clips to the new lanes.
It should be that I can drag the clips to the track "header" and a new lane created with the clip. This does not happen after the lanes have been expanded/minimized.
AND::: when the lanes are minimized, and if the copy settings are set to "replace," the copied clip(s) are placed on the first lane erasing all the clips in all lanes. I understand the replacing, but it would be best for clarity to have the new clip in its own lane.
========================================
AND:: Since lanes are sorta little brother tracks, they should be copyable/movable to other tracks

Actually I can see your point, I'm just not sure I would want a default of creating a new lane, not after all this time of dropping a clip onto a track behaving the way it has behaved. Might be nice to have a drag+key option for that. : ) Brian

Pre-X2: drop a clip on a track and a layer is created.
Lanes are the new layers. (Only better and more space using.)
Hence, a new lane should be created.
This is way important given a minimized track does clearly indicate when mulitple lanes exist in the track.
