Unique copies have a separate audio file on disk, allowing for separate editing of each version in Edit View. (For
example, you can add destructive effects to the version in an introduction while leaving the version in a verse dry.)
To quickly copy a reference, press Ctrl+C.
1 Click the Move/Copy Clip tool in the toolbar.
2 Right-click and drag the clip.
3 Release the mouse button, and choose either of the following from the pop-up menu:
• Copy Reference Here
• Copy Unique Here
If you prefer, copy clips with the Hybrid tool. To copy a reference clip, hold down Shift and right-click drag. To copy
a unique clip, hold down Ctrl and right-click drag.

Repeat a clip
With the Clip Duplicate command, you can duplicate repetitions of a clip in a track without consuming additional
disk space. You can also specify the spacing between each repetition.
To copy a clip to a different track or to irregular positions in the current track, see “Copy a clip” on page 193.
1 Select the clip, and choose Clip > Duplicate.
2 Set the following options, and then click OK:
Duplicate Clip Specifies the number of times to duplicate the clip.
Spacing Determines the spacing between each duplicated clip:
• No Gaps—Continuous Looping Places each duplicate directly after its preceding clip, for a continuous loop.
For a more flexible method of looping, adjust a clip’s loop properties. See “About loops” on page 221.
• Evenly Spaced Defines the spacing between each clip according to the time display format. This value defaults to
the length of the selected clip, producing the same effect as the No Gaps option. Enter a greater value to place space
between each clip, or enter a lesser value to overlap clips.
To repeat a clip such as a drum hit at every other beat in a song, set the time format to Bars And Beats. (See
“Monitoring time during recording and playback” on page 54.) If the clip’s start and end points don’t align properly
with beats, trim the clip in Edit View by using Edit > Find Beats.
Insert empty audio clips
You can insert empty audio clips as placeholders for audio you plan to record later. This technique is particularly
helpful when combined with the Punch In command. (See “Punch into a selected range in Multitrack View” on
page 58.)
1 Select a range in the Main panel.
