OK, I do have a theory about this, but I wanna see what you all have to say.
So, here's the delimma. As you all know, when we have a delimma, we make... delimmanade. OK, that was stupid. LOL! Sorry, I'm kind of in a frisky mood, as it's been a long night. I need a laugh. Anyway, so as I was saying before I rudely interupted myself, I have a project with basicly two tracks. One is a real instrument which I am using for my voice. The other was automatically pasted into the project when I went with command l to my loop browser and selected the loop I wanted. I then just hit command c to copy it, and then went into the file where I wanted it dropped and pasted with command v. OK, the problem is this particular loop I have not only is a bit too long, but what I wanna do is to fade it out gradually. This means I need to first chop off part of the loop to make it not so long. So I basically found where I wanted to start fading out, and hit space bar to stop the recording. I then hit command+T to make a region split. I then went with space bar into the file, until I heard where I wanted to have the fade out stop and it be silent and the end of the project. I then again hit command+T to make a 3rd region. My reasoning for making a 3rd region was so the remainder of the project has it's own region, and I could just go to that 3rd region then go in my menu bar to delete, and say, bam, and kill the end of it. Then I was gonna take the second region, fade it out, then take the second region, and join it back with command+j to the first region. I obviously don't know what I"m doing, and am getting ahead of myself, as to start with, when on the 3rd region that I was going to delete, hitting the delete key, or for that mind, going to the edit menu then delete is not working. The delete option is dimmed. Basically, when I try doing this, I go into my track area layout, then in there I interact with the timeline, then I find my instrument tracks group, interact with that, then find the region. Once on it, is when I'm trhying to delete the region. It's not working though when I try.

Can I please get a hand with this?

This really is the only part I seem to be having problems with, is the editing.

Chris.
