When you say you have to save every time and be quick, I guess I'm not understanding what I'm saving and why you have to be quick.


Can you please be a bit more specific?  I don't follow.

Chris.

You still need to save to split and it will split where you tell it to. you just need to be quick about it. Do you have the curser and the playhead alining. I believe that's under general in gb prefs.

Take care.

ok, but what about spjlitting? You said nothing of the sort. Joining is fine by me, I mean that I can't do without help. My thing now is I figured out how to split and get two different regions, but it's almost looking like it's not splitting where the play head is, as when I try in the timeline voing to the region, it's usually dimmed in the edit menu when I try to go to delete. The only way I can get it to not be dimmed, is to route my mouse with vo+command+F5, then while holding the shift key down, literally click my track pad to select the region. Even doing that though, I find the region from before still seems to be there after then going to delete.

This really is perplexing me. I know other programs like Amadeus can edit a bit easier, but is there no way here?

I know it can be done as I've heard Recardo Walker edit things like this before.

I'd e-mail him, but I don't remember his address.

You need to save every time first and as for joining I cannot get that to work at all witht he keystroke. and as for faiding you need to set a marker or an automation curve which you cannot do with out sighted help.

Take care.

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.
