[Ardour] Copy pattern across tracks

Post by flappix »

Hi,
I often face the following situation:
I create a segment like a chorus made of many tracks - midi and audio tracks - and also multiple regions within the tracks.
Later in the song I want to repeat the whole thing again, including every track and every automation. Copying all the stuff and move it to the right place is laborious, error-prone and messes up the view.

Is there any way to create something like a container across multiple tracks which can be easily duplicated? What's your way of solving this problem?

You could use range selection.

in mix, nobody can hear your screen

Thanks for your answers but that's not what I'm looking for. I know how to select and duplicate regions, but I want to group multiple regions in multiple tracks (not necessary all tracks and all regions within a range) together and move them while keeping their distances.
I know this can be done just by select everything and move it but like I wrote this is a lot of work and the result looks super messy if you have a lot of tracks.
