Copy/Paste only one fx

[teniente powell]

Hello. I have a fx chain in a track. I want to copy just only one fx and paste to selected items/takes. How can I do that? I can copy/paste the fx chain, but not one fx of that chain.

Select one or more effect to copy in the chain and press Ctrl+C (or right click > copy selected FX).

Thanks, and now.... how can I paste that fx in selected items/takes? I have tried that and nothing happens.

Open the destination FX chain and press Ctrl+V (or right click > paste FX). You can also drag and drop the effect(s) on the target track or item.

Oh!, I thought there was an easier way to do that. In that way, first I have to create fx chain one by one item/take. Having "Copy Fx chain from selected track" and "Paste Fx chain in selected items", I thought there was a way to copy/paste only a Fx, not a chain. When you have a lot of takes together in a track, I would be very usable.

Easiest way is to drag the plugin. Hold alt if you want to move it instead of copy.

Yes, I know it, but I often have a sequence with a lot of takes, try and adjust an effect from the track, and then I want to move it from the track to the takes. As in the track I have several Fx and I want to move only one, I'm looking for an easier way.

My way of doing it is moving the selected Fx to the first take, then copy it, and finally paste to selected takes. I was looking the way of making it easier.

Ok, so you want to move one fx from the track chain to all your takes? Hmm, yea I can't find a way to do that in a single step.

I guess the way you're doing it is the fastest way unless you're manually selecting each take to paste. SWS Resources has some paste to all takes and replace actions.
