Copy/Cut Selected Tracks to Clipboard
This will take the currently selected track(s) in their entirety, with items, fx, envelopes, everything intact, and copy or cut them to the clipboard. They may be inserted by using paste (Crtl+V).
Save Selected Tracks as Template
- It's similar to project templates, except you can add tracks to an existing project, from a template.. and if you save your template from tracks in an existing project, it automatically doesnt save the items/envelopes on the track to the template.. just the track info + routing..
- Basically, you can set up single tracks or GROUPS of tracks that you use in whole chunks and build up an entire mix REALLY rapidly, yet not have to have 35 different template projects.
- Note also that track templates can include multiple tracks - for instance a good setup for your drum tracks. But the originating session might have a flute and a guitar, and the next session you do might have a trumpet and banjo. So from your set of track templates, next session you'd paste in your drum tracks in one go from one template and you trumpet and your banjo as two other templates from some other past session.

This is where all of your templates end up. If they are not in the list you can open up an explorer window that will help you find it on your computer.
