Sync Selection Across Tracks

[FunkMonkey33]

Hello!

I seem to remember, from the early early Audition and CEP days, that you could keep your selected area when you opened different tracks.

I record my acoustic guitar with it's pickup and three different mics.  When I make a mistake, and want to copy a different part of the track over  my mistake, I want to do the exact same cut and paste operation on each track.

While the selection view makes it pretty easy to type in your selected bars and duration, it easier if your selection stayed in sync.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

I am not exactly sure what you mean because, surely, if you have four simultaneous recordings on four tracks in the Multitrack view then you are selecting the same portion across all four tracks at once? Or are you talking about opening the four recorded audio files separately in the Waveform view and wanting to sync your playhead or selection across the four different views of the open files. If it is the second option that you are after this is the setting in Preferences/General 'Synchronize selection, zoom level and playhead across files in the Waveform Editor'.

Yes, thank you.  That was it.

What I should have mentioned is that I use Audition as an external audio editor for audio I've recorded in Ableton Live.  There is an Edit button in Live which launches Audition and opens the file(s) in it. 

Thanks!
