Duplicating a Playlist
When you edit a track, you can work with a
copy of the track's playlist and keep the original
playlist arrangement intact.
To duplicate a track’s current playlist:
1 Click the track’s Playlist selector and choose
Duplicate from the pop-up menu.
2 Type a name for the new playlist and click OK.
The duplicated playlist appears in the track and
the track’s name is changed to the name of the
new playlist.
New and duplicated playlists are auto-named
with the track name, followed by a Period (.) and
the playlist number. For example, the first dupli-
cated playlist on a track named “Kick” is auto-
named “Kick.01,” subsequent duplicated playl-
ists are auto-named “Kick.02,” “Kick.03,” and so
on.

or importing audio and MIDI. This can be useful

pears in the track.
Assigning a Playlist to Another
Track
By default, a playlist is typically available only
for the track on which it was created. However,
if the playlist is no longer in use on its original
track or any other track, it can be reassigned in
another track using the Other Playlists feature.
When a playlist is reassigned to another track
(assigned on any track), it is unavailable to other
tracks including the track on which it origi-
nated.
An audio playlist’s timebase is saved with the
playlist. When assigning an unassigned playlist
to any track, the track assumes the saved time-
base of the playlist.
To assign a track playlist:
„ Click the track’s Playlist selector and do one of
the following:
• Select one of the track’s playlists.
– or –
• Select a playlist from a different track by
clicking the Other Playlists submenu, and
selecting a playlist.
The selected playlist appears in the track and the
track’s name is updated to that of the selected
playlist.
