Hi,

I want to paste many times a clip, but I want to push Ctrl+V many times, I want to write the number. Is possible to do it on Ardour?

You can (Multi-)Duplicate a region by selecting it and pressing Alt+D, a dialog window will appear where to set the number of duplicates you want.

To check the default keybindings have a look at the menu: Window > Keyboard Shortcuts.

For region operations you can see the manual: https://www.manual.ardour.org/ardours-i ... gion-menu/

in mix, nobody can hear your screen

Thanks @LAM for the help, but 'Duplicate' has a behavior that I can't modify. All new copies appears together to original region without space, here a diagram:

1. Original material (R1=Region 1 and R2=Region 2):

[R1]-----[R2]

2. I want to make that:

[R1]----[R2]----[R1]----[R2]----[R1]----[R2]

3. But Ardour makes that:

[R1]----[R2][R1]----[R2][R1]----[R2]

Well, you didn't mention spaces between regions in your question. :lol:

In that case you may want to use the range tool to select a range, then you can use the same Alt+D shortcut to duplicate.
