create silence

Post by guitarious » Sun Dec 11, 2011 1:58 am

Hi
Pretty simple problem,but its left me scratching my head. I have a small bass sound that I want to repeat to create a techno beat.I want to add the effect repeat and just have it play over and over. I need to create silence or extend the track to one second,but it always stops ay .75. How do I solve this?
Thanks

When you use the "Repeat" effect (item 21 in the Effect menu), the Selection is repeated, not just the audio clip. If you wish to repeat the first 1 second of that track, select the first 1 second and use the Repeat effect.
