ReDRuMxxx Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 BUG: "Convert to new audio file" cuts off (does not include in the newly created audio file) the "extra" parts of the file, which are necessary for fades and crossfades to work. HOW TO REPLICATE: 1. Create a simple crossfade between two regions. 2. Select both regions and click "convert to new audio file". 3. Newly created audio files end/begin exactly with the region, but they should be "expandable" to where the actual fade ends / begins. If this is expected behavior, I think it should be changed Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploki Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 It is expected behaviour. What are you hoping to achieve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDRuMxxx Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Archive the session, and remove unused portions of the audio file. This behavior, as it is now, makes the "convert to new audio file" feature useless if there are crossfades present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashermusic Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Instead, use Bounce in Place then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDRuMxxx Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hello, thanks for the suggestion. 1. In a project with 125 tracks, BiP is not practical. 2. If you have a 10 minute project, with some tracks containing a short region only at the beginning and a short region at the end, BiP creates an audio file spanning the entire 10 minutes. Kind of defeats the "cleanup" purpose. And BiP-ing each individual region is out of the question. 3. BiP creates a new file, in a new track. The user would have to manually "return" the regions to the source tracks. A better workaround (IF THE USER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE) is to manually join any regions which are crossfaded, and then use "convert to new audio files" normally. Anyway, my opinion is (if this is intended, and not a bug) that nothing would be taken away from the intention/functionality of this feature if the "convert to new audio file" process just included the part of the file necessary for normal crossfade operation. Thanks for the help. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploki Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Go into audio bin and select "optimize files" to trim used material to only whats in use. Preserve as much as length as needed for your crossfades, and thats pretty much it. It's the most unintrusive and straightforward way. While you're there, you can also "remove unused files" and then do a "Project Cleanup" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
