Copying audio regions

ThPh

Hi.. until now, i used ST3 with a single stereo output, with audio regions for each 32 songs of our setlist. I need now to create exactly the same setlist but with multitracks. My question is about audio regions. I use them as a « colored visual guide » for each part of a song (intro, chorus, bridge…). Is there a way to copy previous audio regions from first setlist to the new one ? It’s so long time to rewrite all those regions…. Merci

ThPh I am in the same boat as you if ever I decide to change my 500 song repertoire to multitrack I will have the exact same issue.
Thinking about the technicality of the situation.
There is no point of copying this data and simply pasting it in to a new multitrack creation unless the song audio has exactly the same timing because a small time change will cause all the audio segment changes to be wrong and would sound very bad if you ever used them to jump around the song in multitrack versions, this was the main feature and greatest feature of ST3 compared to other similar software.
If you are just using it as a visual thing to tell you where you are you might get away with it but it’s not the reason this was designed for , this feature was mainly designed to let you easily get around a song and the visual colours are just a bonus.
Perhaps i should have created a multitrack version and a stereo version at the same time but I did not see any value in spending so much time to do this as I mainly perform solo and could not justify separating tracks and complicating the editing process for no gain in my on stage performance capability.
If I had easy manipulation of muting, soloing and volume of tracks as I perform yes this would interest me because I could manipulate the song in real time to create the mood I want otherwise there is no point in going multitrack.

Currently it is not possible to copy regions from one song to another. Sorry.

Thank you Peter for your quick answer. Then, unfortunatly i will have to reprogram every audio regions

Damir merci Damir; in my own situation,all my song audio has exactly the same timing ! at first version, i did "pre-mixed" backing tracks with drums and bass. But in second version, i did separate drums and bass on distinted tracks (with exactly same timing).. luckily id id not have 500 songs to recreate in audio regions , just a 2 hours set ! and yes, i know that i am not using audio regions as it was done for... but in my use, colored zone are very helpfull to follow a track, song notes written with same colors in a pdf

Version 4 will help in that regard as there will no longer be different song types. So if you can hold off the migration to end of the year, you would just add tracks to the existing song and region data will stay intact.

peter brillant idea ! but please, keep the colors 😉
