Copy the selected audio region to the “Clipboard”:
The “Clipboard” allows you to copy selected data from one song to another. The IN and OUT points set in the previous steps indicate
a selected audio range. The TO point needs to be set in the destination song only if you want the audio data in the Clipboard to be
copied to a location other than the beginning of the song.

Important! In mixdown and bouncing operations, assigned Insert, Master and Final effects, as well as EQ settings are “printed”
to destination bounce tracks. If in the future you decide to master to CD after performing a bounce operation, and
do not want to use the previous “Clipboard” technique, make sure to disable all of the destination bounce track’s
effects and EQ settings after bouncing operations are completed, or on playback, the current effects and EQ
settings will still be applied!
Tip: Before conducting mixdown, bounce or CD mastering operations, it’s a good idea to copy the entire song you’re working
with to another location (or backup to CD or external media). Although the UNDO function allows you to recall earlier edit
operations, you may want to start “from scratch”, especially if you’ve made extensive edits to the song.
Tip: Make it a practice to backup your song data to CD or external media, even if the project is in an incomplete state. By doing
this, you can always get the original project back if you decide to re-mix your work and master a new CD!
