Hi, sorry for the title but i’m not sure what is called, lol
I watched a video today where a person had an audio file and went to the bottom right corner of the file where a pencil appeared and he just scrolled it to the right and it filled in the extra bars with the file, i have always copied and pasted (thats the only way i know) could anyone advise me how to do this please?
thank you so much
Have you updated to 8.5?
no?
It’s a quick copy feature. It duplicates the track by dragging the middle.
is it only in 8.5? i have pro8
It is a new feature in 8.5
yes, it is only in 8.5
they have added very few worlflow tips, but imo, its a pretty bland upgrade.
this is the upgrade i have to pay for yes?
You don’t have to pay for it but you won’t be able to use that feature unless you do.
I think u can do it with Cubase 8 too. Just hold down ALT key and grab the right bottom corner
Here is the gif file
Hover bottom right and hold Ctrl (or Alt - I cant remember), drag while holding for as many copies as you want.
Works for MIDI, I can’t remember if it works for wavs too.
Works with Cubase 8
Tip: hold shift also, for a shared copy
hey thanks for that it worked a treat 
Huh…I could’ve sworn that was touted as a new feature in the 8.5 videos. 
It was, lol
But this iteration, you don’t have to use the ‘ALT’ key. It’s actually much faster this way.
Yeah it’s been there for years as a command modifier but people have been requesting workflow improvements so it’s been added in a more obvious way.
I still use CMD+D (duplicate), It’s faster for me)
