Duplicate track
Once you have applied plugins to a track it would be very usefull to be able to copy or duplicate the track - complete with its plugins settings and perhapsalso audiofiles.
For example if I edit version one then I want to continue with the short version or the alternative edit version two.
Thats when I miss the duplicate track utility.
// thanks

There is a workaround, as a Hindenburg support person told me. You can:
-in the effects bin, right click on any effect to pull up the effects menu
-under "presets," click "save stack" - it'll save all effects/settings on the track as a .hpsx file in a folder on your computer
-on a new track, go back to the presets menu and click "load stack" and click on the relevant .hpsx fileThe new track now has the same settings as the old one. You can then copy over the audio clips if you're wanting to fully duplicate.

I think this is a critical basic feature. Often I have specific plugins (say, parametric EQ, noise reduction based on a noise print, and carefully calibrated compression, etc) on a dialogue track. Then let's say I need to add a notch filter or high-pass filter on a few seconds of audio, where there's a pop or background whine. Right now there's no mechanism to do this other than painstakingly recreating the settings again on a new track, and than adding that one extra effect for the little section of sound.
Duplicating a track would make this so much easier! This is just one of many reasons why such a feature would be useful.

That is a good idea. It would on the other hand create some problems when merging sessions.
Here is an alternative idea:
If you need to create an alternative version of a show, then make a "Save session".
This will not take up more space, since you will be using the same audio files - as long as you save the session the same place as the original.
You could give it the session name and add "1" ... or "cut" ...
