Duplicating Pro Tools tracks

The next part I'm going to show you about is duplicating tracks. Now, say you've recorded vocal. You've listened to it. You've got a nice EQ on it for the room. You've got a nice impression. You've got it the way you want it to sound. Now, you want to relay another vocal over that. But, you don't want to redo all the effects and the plug ins over again. So, what you can do is you can just highlight the track and duplicate it. Now, say now that you have the second one there you can just erase what you just duplicated and record having the same exact settings as the previous track. Now, say you want to record maybe three tracks at the same time. You can also highlight both of these and duplicate multiple tracks at the same time, by pressing shift or pressing the apple key. Press duplicate to duplicate the tracks again. What you can do, is bring it down. The two highlighted ones are the ones that were just duplicated, that were just created. So, you can just delete this. On these three tracks, press record and just record right over it.
