In photoshop you can make a template that automatically copies a opened picture into a second layer and applies effects or similar in that layer to the copy.
Is there something similar in cubase? Like, making a template that automatically copies and pans an audio clip you put in left/right?
You can copy a whole track, you can copy track settings (just drag one channel over another in the mixer), there are track versions that allow to duplicate a tracks’ content/make an alternative version, you can copy/duplicate events with processing on and alter the processing on just one of them.
So, there’s a lot Cubase allows. Which method/s to use depends on what you are to achieve.
