I have made some regions in one file and want to paste them into a new wav, I see cntl and select the events but have no option to paste in the new wav thereafter.

help would be appreciated.

There might be a better way, but when i was desperate to do this once i went the other way. I pasted the audio data from the "other" file over the current file containing the regions, then saved it with a new name.

As Kelly stated, you can copy/paste them into new or existing files or use Edit>Trim/Crop and 'save as' a new file(s). However for multiple regions, Tools> Extract Regions is faster/easier batch process, pick and choose which ones...

Hmmm, i may have interpreted the question incorrectly. I thought the OP was saying that he had two files, one with region markers and one without, and that he wanted to have the second file duplicate the same region markers.
If that's not the case and the OP wants to save the audio in the regions into new files, then as rraud says, extract regions is very simple and fast. If one only wants to do one or a few regions, double-clicking between the region markers, Ctrl-C, then Ctrl-E will copy the audio in that region into a new window.

I will explain better, I have multiple waves but the regions are the same in them all and I can manually add the regions and then extract but I wonder if i could copy the regions I created in one wav then paste those same regions into another different wav.

hope that makes sense.

unless you know a better way to achieve this.

regards in advance.

I still don't get what you are trying to do. Are you wanting to copy the region names and positions or the data as well? If the data are you wanting to put it into the same position in the new file or at the end? Do you want to insert the data or mix? Or are you talking about putting one region into multiple files? What result are you looking to achieve?

I'm still reading this as taking the green region markers from one file and pasting the markers into the same positions in a different file. Is that right, pb21?

yes @Chienworks you are correct. Saying that I am doing this a different way now I have taken some script form a previous poster in the scrips forum and it successfully puts the defined regions into the files.

That aside I am still curious if copying the region event (not the audio part itself) is possible and pasting those regions into a different audio file is possible.

thx for your comments so far.

and again my apologies for not describing what i wanted so well.

Without a script, i'm pretty sure my first reply is the easiest way.

How about Saving the regions list [Edit > Regions > Save As}. Then It can be imported [Edit > Regions > Open]. Is that an alternative?

That should work, in the Pro version. Those functions aren't available in the Studio version, but then neither are scripts.
