OP LtKojak Apprentice Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 280 Milano, Italy	I'd like to create a drum part by combining small bits of several MIDI files I've already selected. So, I create a track to do this, so... how do I copy fx. from bar 29 to 34 of the drum track of MIDI file 1 and use it as bar 1 to 6 in the one I've created to this purpose? Inquiring minds would like to know. Pepe aka Lt. Kojak Milano, Italy https://soundcloud.com/theodore-kojak/tracks Hy-Bro Test Sound Files

Inquiring minds would like to know. If you have the MIDI files already, one way is to use import the MIDI file in RB If MIDI is currently in BiaB, drag it to the Drop area. Save it as a MIDI file. Make sure RB is set to MIDI type track RB: File> Import > Load, find the MIDI file Select the track, then copy it, select another track, position the cursor, and paste it(you can set where to paste in the paste dialog) There are probably many other ways too...

As you said before, they MIGHT be other ways, maybe simpler/faster to do this? Is there a faster, easier way to skin this cat? Any takers? Pepe aka Lt.

Lt Kojak, It doesn't really take very long to do it this way. Comfortably less than 30 seconds. But I'm also happy to hear other ideas.

Thank you very much indeed one more time. If you ever come to Milano, Italy, let me know and the first couple of beers will be ON ME! Yours very truly, Pepe aka Lt.
