Is there a way to consolidate audio clips in Session view?

Post by Wirebird » Tue Aug 03, 2021 11:09 pm

Prior to dragging samples into Drum Racks, I often edit them as clips, changing timing, drawing envelopes etc. Since this editing does not follow into Drum Racks, I first need to consolidate them in Arrangement view or record each clip as a new clip in another track, which is tedious. Is there a way to consolidate audio clips directly in Session view that I have missed?

For anyone searching for an answer to the same question, I think the easiest workaround is this: Select all the clips in Session view, then copy, then paste on a track in Arrange view. This will line them all up one after the other. Then select Consolidate on each individually. Then select them all again and drag them into a Drum Rack.
