Replace a Song in multiple Playlists

Aeronk

I want to remix a song that I have in multiple playlists. Is there a quick way of doing this, or is it just a matter of giving the remixed song a slightly different title and manually replacing it in the correct position in each playlist, then remove the older version each time?

Aeronk so if your remixing the song and want to replace the existing version

Simple go to settings, show Stage Traxx files,
Name your new version identically, then when you copy it replace the other if prompted.

Yes good idea jaytrax, but will you also delete lyrics time code ? Which means you need to make sure you save your text editor lyrics so then you can paste them back to the new updated reset version, I do believe this might be the case, perhaps an option to reset a song to zero all settings of a song is needed to simplify this need, when you hit this option it zeroes all EQ, VOLUME, APPLY PITCH TO CHORDS in Multitrack songs and also PITCH , TEMPO in Stereo Songs, or anything else I haven’t thought of that would be useful to reset, this would simplify things greatly, just like a reset of EQ to zero does and many other similar features , I know that’s one reason I always create a full copy backup of my lyrics editor , as you can loose valuable text sync data by reloading a new version of the same song.
A simple reset would be handy in swipe left of every song, as an option to start from scratch without loosing all text edit data that has the ability to toggle back and forth from old settings to new settings while you are editing this song once you leave this song you are then committed to the last setting just like EQ reset logic.
If it is used in playlist mode it only affects that song in the playlist.
If it’s used in song mode it then affects all song versions in all playlists and in song mode.
This then gives the user to choose how much reset he requires and would save a whole lot of time, Specially for Multitrack users.
Or something similar that just works simply.

Damir I often make edits in my DAW and replace audio files
I time stamp all my lyrics and have midi data on all songs also

I can confirm that replacing audio files does not affect time stamps or midi data if the file is replaced

Thanks jaytrax and Damir, that worked a treat for me as there were no lyrics or adjustments in the song to worry about. I have been doing it manually and it was a tedious process.

When replacing audio files with another version, Stage Traxx will only reload lyrics from the new file if you did not edit lyrics for this song in Stage Traxx directly. So any lyrics edits are preserved even when changing out audio files.
