Question

How To Stop 3.0 From Creating New Track on Insert To Multitrack

My company still has us on AA3, which is fine -- I love it, except for one massively frustrating behavior I can't seem to find a solution for.  If I'm in the edit view, select part of an audio file and right-click>Insert To Multitrack, it inserts the file on a new track that it creates.  For example, if my session has five tracks and I do an Insert to Multitrack, now I have six tracks instead of inserting the clip someplace on one of the five existing tracks.  In previous versions, it wouldn't create a new track unless I specifically did so, and that's what I want.

This link -- Home Recording  -- suggests that there's a checkbox in the "Multitrack Clips section," but I can neither find that section, nor can I find any mention of it in a Google search.  My new(ish) computer rejects 1.5 for some reason, so there's no going back.  Anyone have an idea on how to stop this infuriating behavior?

No unfortunately. This was always a problem with AA3 AFAIAA. The option to place inserted clips on the same or different Tracks only arrived as a feature in Audition CC, several versions on from AA3.
