roblogic Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi I am having an issue which may be a bug when merging audio regions. If I have a long audio file and apply search silence and get different audio files. If I then "glue" them together LPX has to create a new audio file. The big surprise is that this new audio file includes the passages I had removed with "search silence"... I would like the new audio file, resulting of all fragments had silence between this fragments instead of the original audio data I had removed with the search silence... Is that a bug or I am missing something?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanRad Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 If I understand you right, it may be that you need to move a part of the file, or add something that is not part of the original file to what you are merging. If logic sees you try and merge a file that hasn't been changed in these ways, it just sort of merges the regions without making a new file. Ex; Here's the file: "Merge this file" If I change it to "Merge ( ) file" I might just get the same file if the length is still the sam But if I change it to; "Merge file ok?" I'll get a new one because I've added something not in the original file… then I would cut out what I don't want… Maybe this makes sense and maybe it'll solve your problem. danrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Dan's right: you need to "force" Logic to create a new audio file by making it impossible for Logic to use the original file. I usually just select a piece of audio with the marquee and option-drag it beyond the boundaries of the file I ultimately want. For example if I want to join regions starting at 1 1 1 1 and ending at 5 1 1 1 then I'll option-drag that piece of audio to 5 2 1 1. I then merge all the regions including the new piece of audio, and that forces Logic to create a new audio file, without any of the 'silence' you've removed. You can then resize the resulting region so it ends at 5 1 1 1, eliminating that extra piece of audio that you previously copied to 5 2 1 1.
