when you have a wave form and you are doing some cutting and pasting of the music, how does one go about pasting the various cuts in a different order or into another piece of music.
the next problem to smooth out the pastes so that the music is smooth.
That’s a little open ended, you can’t smooth out the transition between ‘Nine Inch Nails’ and ‘John Philip Sousa.’
When straight cuts don’t do it, you can use the envelope tool to create a fade between two pieces of music on different tracks.

That’s a broad, sloppy illustration, but you can do a really short version of that and almost make it appear as a continuous song.
I thought we wrote something about this:
