cut and paste
Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2007 4:46 am
Firstly, this is very exciting to me -- as a musician and music educator I am thrilled that this recording technology which so far is working great for me is available for free -- Kudos!
now -- I was wondering if there is any way to cut and paste a bit of sound and place is somewhere specific in time. I am using the beginners version right now (just started last night) and when I copy or cut and paste a piece of audio from one track to another, or even on the same track, it automatically scrunches it right up next to whatever sound is on the track. what I would like to be able to do is "aim" where in time I place the cut or copied sound info, and manipulate it as a separate entity from what is already on the track as well. just in case it's useful what I'm using right now is preset samples of drum machine type info which I was also able to aquire for free from the internet.
what I've been doing is using the "split" function, which creates a new track and allows me to mess with the copied bit in time all on its own. this is probably using more memory than would a smaller number of tracks given the above possiblities, right?
anyway, thanks again for monitoring a fantastic piece of free software -- BArnaby
