[Rwp] How to copy and paste time based selection?

[Alan]

Thanks!
Finally I got it, taking information from you all.... The main point is that I was not understanding how reaper works. Basically, after selecting a track, all edit commands are track focused, and after selecting an item, it becames item focused, so, if you don"t want to copy or paste a whole track, you need to first select tracks and then items, and, yes, I was doing the oposite.... :)

Hope I could send you my first sound test enterely based on reaper!

>>> The problem her tis you are selecting all tracks. The action you want is  Select all item sin selected area on selected tracks. So first select all tracks. Second  make selection with start and end points  third hit the select all areas in all selected tracks action then copy and move cursor to where you want to paste and paste.
