Perhaps this is common knowledge, but it's something I've found pretty useful, and I thought I'd drop a post to let folks know about it: Say you have a channel strip with plugins, and you want to transfer one of those plugins to another channel strip so the two tracks have a similar sound. You could simply use the 'Copy channel strip setting' and then paste that setting on the desired channel strip. But, what if you want to copy just a few plugins instead of the whole strip? Here's how: 1. Press and hold option+cmd 2. Click and hold the plugin to move. (You can then let go of option+cmd) 3. Drag the plugin to an empty slot on the new channel strip and let go. And there you go, plugin transferred! Also note that if you want to move one plugin from one channel strip to another without copying it, just hold option, click and hold the plugin, and drag it on over. Hope this is useful. It's a small thing, but it may save you some time. Steve K

Hi Steve, Thanks for option+cmd tip on copying plugins, very cool... But with transferring I think it's hold 'cmd' not 'option' when you click and drag... Cheers, Bj

Yup, you're definitely right. I guess I still get those two confused sometimes. :) Thanks for catching that. S.

Hi Guys! Great tips. Here's another one to add. IT'S unfortunate that in the Environment Mixer layer you can't move plug-ins around a channel strip... or can you? Well, you can't copy them between channel strips definitely, but if you set the secondary (cmd) mouse tool as the pointer tool, holding down Cmd, you can move the plug-ins from one insert slot to another. I normally use the Mixer window to move plug-ins around but this is a useful tip if you're spending time Mixing in the Environment. :-) Rounik
