  1. I did have 2 projects opened at once, scg. I'll learn not to do that anymore. I'll try that later, David, and let you know how that went. Thanks.
  2. Well, scg, adding them directly is what I already tried, in different ways.
  3. JacobP... Ah. Interesting the point about having more than one project open at once. I didn't know that. I'm not sure how to use the import feature. I want to import in a brand new project audio files from an old project. So how do I go about it using that feature?
  4. I don't understand what's happening either. I'll scrap that new project, go back to the original, and try other ways of importing the regions I need in a brand new project. Maybe I'll find a way. Or I won't, because there's something happening with the regions in the original project that doesn't allow me to. To be continued.
  5. "If you reimport the audio region into a new project then you can split at playhead as expected." I'll try that again, David. I say again, because this is what I did. Well, actually not, since all I did was drag-and-drop them in the new project. I'll try exporting them in a new one, and report back. Thanks guys for the support.
  6. Well, I just discovered something. I can split the file if I try to split it in the middle, say, but it won't allow me to split and delete the silence at the end of the file, which is what was the problem in the first place, as I wanted to delete the silence part at the end of the vocal. https://we.tl/t-ZXPXsOrehm
  7. So, I deleted the unused, now there's only one audio file linked to it. But that didn't change anything. I still can't "split at playhead". I still don't understand why there was 3 files making what should be a single file. In that new project, there are 30 regions that I copied from the other project. But the file browser shows that there way more files. It shows 93 files. I tried converting the file, bouncing it in place, etc, nothing works. I also went back to the original project from where I copied the regions to the new project. I actually simply dragged the regions from the original project to the new one, rather than copy/paste them. Maybe that's where something goes amiss, in the process of dragging them? I'll try to copy/them and see if it changes anything. I also made a movie—link: https://we.tl/t-2IcPGj8Pvs
  8. Scg, the files were put in an empty new project, and the Apple loop that I could cut was on a track with one that couln't be. Dox, I do have the permissions. David, I created an empty project with one of those problematic files. Here's a Wetransfer link. https://we.tl/t-U5Y4iI4awC?utm_campaign=TRN_TDL_05&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_medium=email&trk=TRN_TDL_05 After creating it, I noticed something. When I open the menu at the top on the far right to view the files in the project (I don't what it's called exactly), rather than display a single file, it displays 3 files. So does that mean that 3 audio files make up that single file? I don't know how that can be—I would need to go back to the project I copied that file from to check what's happening there—but could that be the reason? If so, is there a solution from within my new project or the only way to correct this is to go back to the project I copied the files from and make sure that the files I want to use are single files. Maybe the file is made of 3 files because it's actually 3 takes? Although there's no sign of the icon that indicates that there are more takes packed there (maybe there was, and since it was consolidated they're just embedded in the file now with no way to separate them?) I don't know.
  9. scg.. None of the other methods to cut/split a region works. Interestingly, an Apple loop dragged on a track can be split at playhead. Also, if I bounce in place a region, with delete the original file selected, then I can split it. So strange. There has to be some setting linked to all these regions that prevents them to be edited. As I wrote, the only thing that strikes me is that they are "consolidated".
  10. For some reason, I can't split the regions anymore at playhead in a new project . The only reason I can think of is that this project is made of audio files or regions that I copied from another project that has been "consolidated". So each region's name includes the word consolidated. Can that be the reason? If so, what can I do about it? Can the regions be "deconsolidated"? And if that's not it, for what other reason splitting at the playhead would suddenly stop working?
  11. I have 2 questions... I have the tracks of recordings me and a trio I'm in recorded in a studio. The engineer sent them to me since I needed to do various adjustments before sending them back to him to be mixed. My first question is: Since the tracks' audio material starts and ends at different times in the song's timeline, to make things easy for him (we talked about it) I want to send them back all aligned from the song's beginning. So the question is what is the best way to fill the space before and after the audio material on each track? I read somewhere that one can use a MIDI region to fill those spaces, and I guess that would work, but I'm looking for the best practice. My second question has to do with what is the best way to send back those tracks? Since I did some editing, I already "joined" the regions of each track so that I now have a single region on each track. Then once I solved the issue I brought up in the first question, and join everything again if needed, then how do I send them? First "bounce in place" each separately? And if so, then export each separately? Or is there a way to bounce or import them separately all at once?
  12. A little late, but thanks for your last post, David. And now to a new question in the forum...
  13. I just tried the different suggestions here, and fuzzfilth solution best achieves what I was looking for. I need to remember that use of the gain plugin, which I was not aware of. It could come handy for different things. Thank you all for the input.
  14. "...if you're sending the file to a professional mastering engineer then the level of the file doesn't matter (as long as it's no unreasonably low like peaking at -18 dBFS)." I need to be told that, David. I can see how I got conditioned by all the talk that says that it has to be between -6 and -3 dBFS. I guess that number is given to make sure people stay on the safe side, but it made me, in case of this mix, unnecessarily spending time fiddling with the levels of each track since I was peaking initially peaking at around -10 dBFS. As an aside, leaving alone the fact that I know that trial and error is part of any learning process, I know that I spent way too much time adjusting the levels of my tracks in this mix. Why? Because I'm confused about the best practice with that between using a gain plugin on a track, using the gain tool for individual regions, and using automation. Because of that, I ended up with many regions having different settings involving all three, which made for a lot of—I suspect—unnecessary work. I need to learn more about a sound use of these three elements, to make mixing easier.
  15. David, I guess you mean put a reverb on an aux and add the Spreader there. Wonshu... Right. That crossed my mind. Thank you all. I'll experiment today.
