In this post I show you how to duplicate tracks in Logic Pro X. It’s super easy.

Why would you even want to duplicate your tracks?

This is a really useful question as it reflects the importance of workflow in your DAW.

Duplicating tracks is a massive time saver. It stops you having to copy effect chains, bus routing, automation information, effects parameters etc.

All of these things take time and that is our most precious resource.

That’s why we learn shortcuts like this.
