Using Paste Repeat
Use Paste Repeat to specify how many times the Clipboard events are pasted at the cursor position on the timeline, and to specify the
space between each pasted event.
1. Copy a selection to the Clipboard.
2. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Repeat. The Paste Repeat dialog displays.
3. Specify the number of times to paste the Clipboard contents and the space
between successive copies.
4. Click OK when finished.
Using Paste Insert
When using Paste Insert, Clipboard events are placed at the cursor position on the timeline and existing events are moved further down
the timeline by the total length of pasted information. Paste Insert affects all layers in use in the project.
1. Copy a selection to the Clipboard.
2. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Insert.
Punching-in and crossfading events
You can insert events into the middle of (on top of ) existing events without altering the timing of the project. When the inserted event
ends, the original event continues playing as if it had never stopped.
1. From the Options menu, choose Preferences. The Preferences dialog
appears.
2. Click the Editing tab.
3. Select Fade edit edges of audio events. Specify a duration for each
transition.
Events that have previously been inserted or punched-in are not affected by
this change. The concept of punching in and out only applies when you are inserting an event that is shorter than the event that it is
being inserted into. In the following illustration, the original event continues after the inserted event ends, as if it continued to play
underneath the original.

Duplicating events
Duplicating is a combination of copying and pasting in one action. The process is like moving the event to a new position while leaving
a copy behind.
1. Hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard.
2. Drag the event you want to duplicate to the place where you want the new event to be positioned.
