You know how you can make up delays by copying a word from one track, then creating more tracks and pasting a single copy on each track as the taps?
Well this automates the process! Here's the instructions:
Select the area to copy on the item
Right Click - 'copy selected area of selected items' ...or use the shortcut Ctrl-Shift-C
Make sure the track is selected, go back before the word, then hit play
Press the key (F12 in my case) at every point you want a delay created. Any rhythm you want.
* It basically creates a new track, and then pastes the media at the play cursor position...and so on.
Here's the screenshot and macro:
*see, i pasted them in as half bar delays.
If your computer can't keep up, or you prefer to add tracks in a track template or manually, change the first action to 'track: go to next track'.
Have fun!~
