Re: Pasting and overlapping audio
No problem. I don't always have the time to get into detail much less even respond to certain questions but happy to do it whenever I can.

Wow, that's some good information. I appreciate you taking the time to explain all of it. - Original Message - From: Slau Halatyn To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 9:03 AM Subject: Re: Pasting and overlapping audio You need to create an unlinked crossfade and set the parameters in such a way that the fade out and fade in are instantaneous. Select the range from a few ticks before the second region begins to how ever many ticks into the second region you'd like the first region to last. Press Command-f to open the fades dialog. Press the "None" button to unlink the two fades. I think the shortcut for that is Shift-down arrow a couple of times.

The control-left and right arrows cycles through fade out shapes. Think of it as left to right and it doesn't cycle through. Here are the fade shapes: 1.

Fast attack, gentle decay. 4. Equal Gain. Steady fade. 5. Slow attack, fast decay. Initial fade is gradual and speeds up toward the end. 6. Slower attack, very fast decay. Fade starts out very gradually and speeds up toward the very end. 7. No attack, instant silence at the end of selection. The shapes for Fade-ins are exactly the same only reversed so that, for example, in shape #2, the initial fade-in is extremely quick and slopes gently up as it approaches the selection end. Fade #6, on the other hand, has a very slow initial entrance and a very fast slope up in volume as it reaches the end of the selected fade range. The subject of crossfades is quite complex and there are a lot of things to consider. I'm giving you the sort of reader's digest version but I hope it helps.

You need to create an unlinked crossfade and set the parameters in such a way that the fade out and fade in are instantaneous. Select the range from a few ticks before the second region begins to how ever many ticks into the second region you'd like the first region to last. Press Command-f to open the fades dialog.

Pasting and overlapping audio
Ok, I have a four bar hook that I want to paste to make 8 bars all together. The 4 bar section goes a few ticks into bar 5. When I paste the section it pastes over the last few ticks and cutts it off. Is there a setting to be able to have the pasted section overlap over the end of the origenal section? I know I can duplacate all the tracks and do it that way, but it seems kind of rediculus to have to duplacate 6 more tracks when I would think a fade setting would be available.
