[Rwp] Copying Multiple Items on Multiple Tracks

[Snowman]

Derek,
Was this on a single track?  Or, was it multiples.
If multiple tracks, where does track selection live in the sequence of events?

  I managed it once by making a selection, pressing shift+S to make sure everything was split in to items on each side,  copying, going to where I wanted things to go, presssing shift+s to split across everything, making sure ripple editing was set to all, then pasting.

    I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I suspect the trick is going to be to just think about item selection, not track selection. So, the last thing you select should be an item. It's also going to be easier to do this using non-contiguous selection, I think. Otherwise, you'll end up accidentally selecting stuff you don't want.

    Note that while REAPER is itself very context sensitive, OSARA takes it even further. While it does have its drawbacks when dealing with complex stuff like this, the problem with not being context sensitive is that you need a lot of extra commands for each possible context.

          I have decided that I hate context dependent operations.  They only make sense if you are intimately familiar with the UI, and it happens to appreciate your work flow.
      But, if you press one key out of sequence, then you and your application are out of sync, and stuff happens that you didn't intend.
      This business of whether I'm selecting tracks, or items, or items on tracks makes me crazy!

      Tell the guys at cockos that...


      Anyway, has anyone finally figured out how to do this?
      The goal is to identify some portion of your mix with a time selection, and to be able to jsut pick up everthing on all tracks, and move it down the time line to some other location, and paste.
      I can manage to get this to work, but only by moving one item at a time, and working on one track at a time.
      Very tedious.
      So much so that I would rather do the rendering, and then go to sound forge with the final mix, and hack it up instead.

      Anyway, if anyone has conquered this, I'd love to hear about it.
