The playlist and comping in Pro Tools you sorta kinda can do it with macros in Cubase. I like the way Pro Tools does that but you can get really close. Read some of this that I posted a while back. You can also create a macro to copy an event to a “comp” track using the project logical editor. This I think will give you some ideas.
I’m going to see if I can write something up for how I’ve been working. I have a PLE where I can highlight with the range tool what I want to copy to a comp track. The track is called COMP and the macro will copy and paste to the COMP track. It actually searches for a tracked named “COMP’ and copies it. I’m not at my computer so maybe tomorrow I can post something.
