On 2/19/22 in the Power Chords thread the OP stated "I have v2022 build 918." which is the PC-Windows version as Mac build is 2021 build 515. Regardless, RB or DAW is not the best recommendation for this task even if it's good at the job. BIAB is great and fast at this job. The best tool for the job to the specific request is PG Staff's brief and thorough solution. AudioTrack offers the same solution using menu's rather than highlighting copy/paste in the Audio Edit Window.

Using the Audio Editor, highlight/copy/paste can be done in less than 10 seconds. That's faster than RB can open. Plus the BIAB SGU file has to be opened in RB before any editing can be done. Added to that, the edited file has to be exported and imported back into BIAB.

Then there's the issue that opening the SGU file in RB will generate new tracks rather than the BIAB tracks the user is working with. The Phrase/Riff desired to be copied and pasted may not appear in the RB generated tracks.

Exporting to WAV, also requires opening RB, importing WAV, editing the track, exporting the edited track and importing the track back into BIAB - and takes much longer to perform than editing the track in BIAB.
