PURPOSE OF NEW TOPIC: To get input on the different ways to merge multiple tracks from one sequence into multiple existing sequence in the same project.
PROBLEM: I often need to copy 20+ tracks (eg. exploded drum tracks) from one sequence into 30+ existing sequences. Using the copy "event" function for each individual track to each individual sequence and then copying the name of each individual track to each individual sequence is unreasonably time consuming. I need a way of bulk copying multiple tracks into an many existing sequence.
PROPOSED SOLUTION: Instead of using the copy "event" for one track at a time, I've been using another method: 1). Create a NEW Sequence; 2). Create the New Tracks on the New Sequence, making sure the track numbers are unused in the Existing Sequences that will have the New Tracks copied into them. 3). I use the Edit > copy "Bars" and MERGE all the bars of the New Sequence to the Existing Sequences, one at a time.
For me, this seems way quicker than the copy event function. However, does anyone have any ideas how to do this even quicker?
SIDE QUESTION: My music is complex. Even though I start out with one main sequence for all my tracks for the entire song, as the song develops, I end up with usually over 100 tracks per sequence and 30+ sequences, which are basically just a mess. Before I merge all my sequences into one final song, it takes way too much time for me to organize tracks within and between sequences so all the tracks line up with the same instruments to merge into one clean, consolidated sequence. The biggest time wasters are: 1). Moving tracks WITHIN each sequence, so the same instruments line up between all sequences, 2). Copying over changes from tracks on one sequence to the others, 3). Merging tracks from different sequences where they use the same instruments to consolidate tracks, and 4). Making other random organization actions. I've read the manual, use all the standard methods, like copy tracks and events, but these methods are too slow, especially with massive and complex songs. Any hints on faster production would be would be greatly appreciated.
