Is there a way to copy and paste a part of a track in Trackiton 5?

Thanks.

If it's MIDI, you just need to draw a rectangle around the notes you want and press ctrl-C. Ctrl-V to paste, If Mac, whatever the standard is on there.

It's not midi, it's just lead guitar on the track. Thanks.

You can split the track at the cursor at the beginning of what you want to copy; split at the end again, then select the chunk in the middle, copy, and paste that...

This shouldn't affect the original section it's copied from. Tracktion keeps the original recording intact (normally) and has pointers to the waveform (I believe) - found out the hard way when I used the above to grab just the section I wanted, and then deleted the original recording and found my portion was also missing... However, these internals may change somewhat release to release; and not sure what happens if you then apply corrections to the original recording.

It's quite possible there are alternative ways as well - like maybe just select the region and copy ?

Use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V or Cmd key and similar on mac to copy the clip, then either drag the arrows on the right and left of the clip to be around the bit you want, OR, click into the clip somewhere, to move the cursor, then hit the / key to slice it there, for the start point, similarly click roughly where the end is, hit / again, then copy/paste that smaller clip to another track or wherever you want it to be.

Easier to do than explain on a forum, but the point is you can't click and drag to highlight a section, then copy paste that section somewhere, like you can in some DAWs.

But editing clips is non-destructive, you don't "damage" the audio recorded, or whatever. Ctrl+Z or the edit/undo menu will get rid of any editing mistakes you make to clips, and you can make multiple copies of clips and edit them without affecting the underlying audio recording. So just make as many copies of the track with guitar on it as you like, and mess around. Highlight the whole track, hit ctrl+C, then Ctrl+v a few times, you've got 3 or 4 copied tracks to play with.
