How To Copy/Paste Audio Clips From One Project To Another.

I'm trying to copy a sequence of audio clips on a track in one Cubase project and paste them into track a track in a different Cubase project.
When it finishes pasting, Cubase separates my sequence of clips and puts each one on a different track. I just want them pasted as I copied them, not separated to different tracks. Who would EVER want that?
1. Why does it do this? (extremely annoying)
2. Can I stop this?
NOTE: I'm NOT trying to import a track via the import track thing. I'm just trying to copy/paste some audio clips.

Probably because its just using the standard operating system clipboard capabilities, and that doesnt include Cubase-specific information. All it knows is that you have copied a set of audio clips, and that you are pasting in that set of audio clips. It doesnt know anything about the track they came from, or their position on that track.
An idiot on Set Theory:
"In some cases there is an object called red that contains everything that is red. In much the same way a pot is a plate."

Quite often, not sure about Cubase, there is a Paste Special alternative with more options.
- look for that first
Otherwise I would do the Export selected tracks(unless they renamed it to something better) and then import from that created file, if called track template or something now. There were some oddities in naming I remember, not the same for export as import.

Open both sessions. Arrange them on screen so you can see both. Select and drag drop clips from one project to the otherDomlun wrote: Sun Mar 02, 2025 9:04 am

I think Cakewalk have some keyboard shortcut for such a situation.
Unfortunatly i can't remember which key it was that you should hold during the paste.
But that's Cakewalk. Perhaps Cubase has something similar.

Usually opening 2 projects at one time and manually dragging or copy past short cut works depending on OS
