Working with Linked Clips
SONAR makes it easy to repeat a pattern over and over using a feature called
linked clips. Linked clips always have the same contents, name, and display
color. Any change you make to the internal contents of one of the clips, such as
adding or editing notes or effects, automatically applies to all of them. Any number
of clips may be linked with each other.
To create linked clips, copy the clips and when pasting, check the linked clips
option in the Paste dialog box or the Drag and Drop Options dialog box. Linked
clips are displayed with a dotted border, so they are easy to spot. You can also
identify linked clips using the Clip Properties dialog box or the Select All
Siblings (available in the Clips pane popup menu) command.You can easily
unlink linked clips, and then edit them individually. You have two options when
unlinking linked clips:
Once you have unlinked linked clips, you cannot re-link them except by using
Edit-Undo.
Option… How it works…
New linked group The clips you selected will still be linked to
each other, but won’t be linked to any clips
that are not selected
Independent Every selected clip will be completely
independent
