How to replace only ONE sample?

Post by Christian_R » Sat Jul 05, 2025 5:20 pm

Hi,

I have taken a Tiesto song and separated it into some stems (via Lalal.ai), only to use it as reference in my song making.

I needed to nudge the placement of the drum stem a bit in Arangement Mode to make it sync with my song, and now I want to the same with the bass stem.

I have duplicated the drum track and I just want to replace the duplicate with the bass stem so that I don't have to nudge it again (and then it won't be 100% in sync with the drums.

But how can I replace just the duplicate with the bass stem? If I go to Manage Files it looks like I must replace both instances of the file, and I can't replace it with a file from Finder (on Mac), only something within the project.

There must be a way to fix this, and I hope someone can help me :D
