  1. My kluge: cut out the last chord/note that I want to stretch and simply stretch the whole region with Option-drag on right region boundary. (With Flex engaged.) But most of the time I have enough space after the last note fades that I can still stretch the note to my liking. Yes, the part after it compresses but there's nothing in there anyway.
  2. I'll have to test as well. Looking closely, I see the new Undo folder in the other story is mostly edits on the new language files. Thanks for the tip.
  3. Great idea and wish I'd thought of that the first time. For the second book, that's pretty much what I'm doing, except that the first project does contains the audio files, but the new language version just references them. The thing I'm trying to get happening is a separate undo folder for the new language version. That folder didn't get automatically created...
  4. I'm working on two audio books for a client, (two different stories), and each story is done in multiple languages that share the same FX and music per story. All these audio files are supplied to me. Each time I do a new language version, I create a new song file, in it's own folder, from the old version so I can use it as a template to lay in the new language against the old FX and music. (Each new language is supplied as many separate page files, which is how I can do this at all, since I'm not multilingual!) Initially, with the first book, I was copying the whole project file into a new project but that resulted in file bloat, with all the audio files being copied over to the new language version. With the second book, I came up with a solution to file bloat by doing some version of Save Copy or Save As (can't remember now) into a new folder named after the new language then, I think, maybe manually creating a bounce folder. Now, the only new files are the new language, which lives in it's own separate audio folder. And somehow in the process, a new undo folder was also created, one that is different from the undo folder in it's predecessor. Now I'm back to the first story with a new language and want to do the same thing. So, I opened a version of the first story, did a Save As with "new language name" and put that into a new folder, then manually created a bounce folder in there and all is good; the song still plays all the old files, however, there is no undo folder, as there was when I did this procedure with the second book. I've tried to do some edits to the audio files but I'm not seeing an undo folder appear in the new version. What is it that creates that undo folder?
  5. Yeah, that makes sense, assuming bit rate choices are only one or the other, but what do I know? I was curious if there were other exotic bit rate choices, like "Mostly Constant" or "Slightly Variable on Blue Moon Sundays". Doin' my due diligence...
  6. I'm working on an audiobook project. The company who publishes these have a variety of requirements for the files, which are easy to accommodate but one has me puzzled. In the past, I've been submitting 320 kbps, 44.1 kHz MP3s using the "Joint Stereo" setting with no 10kz filtering. They have accepted this previously, however, I now notice on their site that they want the files to be encoded as CBR files, an option that's not available in Logic 9, unless it's one of the defaults. With "VBR" unchecked and "Joint Stereo" chosen, does that automatically create CBR files? (The company has specified that they don't want VBR). TIA!
  7. That's a great solution, better than what I proposed years ago. And if there was already a xfade between regions before the nudge, it will move to the right spot after you apply "remove overlap". Thanks!
  8. This tool worked perfectly for taking a picture of page one but when I try to take a picture of page two, it gives me a blank PDF. Oddly, if I take a picture of a small part of the second page, that works. What am I doing wrong? (Working in Logic Pro 9)
  9. Well, minutes after I asked this question, the words "page break" popped into my mind... some sort of weird personal google here. After some actual googling, I found that the symbol that looks like a page with a turned corner did the job. Thanks, Camillo!
  10. I'm making up some exercises for students, four bars per line, and it's all looking just like I want it, except for the last staff on page one, which should begin on page two. How do I make that last staff move over to page two? I'm guessing it means limiting the staves per page but I can't find out how to do this. Ideas? This is in Logic Pro 9. TIA...
  11. Is there a command that will do that in Logic 9? Can't see the one mentioned above. I've haven't done any video stuff for years so just getting re-aquainted with the whole process. Right now, I close the window manually either on the video window itself or by clicking on the triangle in the little window upper left of the Arrange.
  12. Thanks Lagerfeldt, great and detailed info as always. Now off to do some more research....
  13. Ah yes, Logic's multimeter. Ok, I see it has a pretty good display and it seems to be showing similar levels to the dpMeter3. Re - ballistics....The dpMeter 3 has several ways of simultaneously displaying RMS; highest level, within a short time window up to a second or cumulative since start of playback. I know I'm in the ballpark, level-wise and if the story is accepted at current levels, I'll know I can trust this meter and Logic's too..... at least as far as this publisher is concerned.
