Help! Cut and paste audio artifacts!

Hey all,
Using Garageband once I received my Mac, I was amazed at how easily I could take two tracks, merge them together, and there was no noticeable sound between the two tracks that were combined. This was a welcome relief, as the two previous programs (GuitarTracks, Cubase) I was trying on my PC were leaving the an unwanted sound change between the two; like the stopping and starting on a voice recorder.
With how great Garageband was making this cut and paste, stop and start process, I figured Logic would also make this rather expected process easy. However, once I started to cut and paste takes around in the program, I met with the same issue; audio artifacts due to the stop and start, cut and paste of tracks. So basically, I am left feeling as though I should do everything in one long take, which is absurd.
Please, does anyone know how to cut and paste tracks/takes and no longer worry about the present artifact between pastes?
Thanks!

Ok, I will look into crossfading then!
The manual has been intimidating, and I have a deadline for what I am working on, so unfortunately time is against me. Things that I think would be called one thing are called something different (quantizing & flex-time for example).
I am using the newb version, Logic Express 9.
Thanks for your help!
No probelm, I think what you're describing is noise when trying to overlay one audio file on top of another at a junction point and have them blend smoothly together. Is that correct?

Cutting and pasting audio tracks?

Im working with mpeg-1 files that have been converted with mpegStreamclip, everythings working great, but i haven't figured out how to cut and paste audio tracks in the timeline. I am trying to copy and use sound extracted from the muxed mpeg. I want to add this ambient sound to run under stills. Any suggestions?

Hi Susan
1. Set TimeLine to audio edit = three tracks.
2. Is there audio on track two or three ? If not. Select clip with needed sound. Advance menu/Extract sound.
3. Now there is a sound portion under the selected clip. Click anywhere (un-select) and now select
the audio portion.
4. Move the Playhead (line witrh yellow triange in top) where You want Your cut in the audio clip.
5. cmd-T [apple-key + T] = a Cut
6. Move the portion in under a still (or make a copy first and move that-one)

Help the Noobie-Cut and Paste

Im new to Logic, coming from a protools/dp backround. Why is cut and paste so difficult for me?
Lets say I have a guitar part where the first verse is a better performace than the second verse. I want to cut a p[aste the 12st verse on top of the second verse.
I go to snap bar mode , highlight , copy , go to beginning of second verse , paste (in overlap mode). And everything seems fine. But once i click somewhere else in the track. The pasted region is hidden behind the longer original recorded region. What gives? Ive looked in the manual and cant find an answer. This is slowing down my work so much, please help!
thx

*You can either select drag-mode "Crossfade" (next to the Snap mode menue) - L8 will then automatically perform crossfades between the region or you use overlap mode and draw the crossfade in by yourself with the "crossfade tool" from the toolbox.
*You can choose "tie Regions by length change" from the Region menue (that´s probably a poor translation from my german menue), L8 will then shorten your first region so it doesn´t overlap anymore (setup a keycommand for it if you wish). Anyway, L8 will give priority to the second region so the first region will be cut off from the Audio output when Region 2 enters as you can´t play two regions from one Audio object at the same time. If Region1 already has the exact lenght you want and fits with the lenght of your first verse you can also use the command "perform multiple copies of region" (you find that in the Region menue also, setup a key command for this too if you wish).
*You can just press alt+click on region (which copies it) and drag it to the point you want it.

I have the same problem--have you found a solution?

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive?Pls.help.

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help. Tks.

Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing!

Takes and comping live drums- trouble cutting and pasting comps- help

Senario, 10 tracks of drum mikes recorded in 8 takes. Swiping with groups on works like a charm. Issue, I want to be able to locate a 4 bar section in a comp and cut and paste it back to back and in every verse. It seems to work but when I go and start swiping takes to add to the comp, the comp pastes of the 4 bar piece starts playing something different than what was pasted there moments earlier. I then have to undo a few steps and cannot figure out what to do now.... Any tips, suggestions or work flows anyone can share with me regarding drum tracking. I have never tried to cut and paste within a comp and I want to believe that it should work just like editing regions. And then you can flatten ? Thanks

You hate takes, ok I don't really yet, but how do you put takes into folders without flattening first. So a folder opened up into an arrange window has folders named DRUMS TK1, DRUMS TK2, etc. But then you select all those takes and pack into yet another folder called DRUMS, Hmm. Copies of the folders you want to use, how do you determine what you want to use. I use the swipe feature and it shows me the sections from each take and I can hear what it all sounds like before flattening. Is your method a mix of old LP7 style drum take editing with packed folders ? If you are cutting the copied packed folders to taste, are you using the mute tool to shut off sections to audition each take ? Flattening using the glue tool, I am getting lost now sorry. I like the swiping feature especially when you have 13 drum tracks times 8 takes. I make a group called drums and when I swipe the Kick track let's say, all drum mikes get selected in the exact place and I can then audition each take by clicking on each kick take, then I move on after I choose a section. My problem arrived when I started to scissor cut the COMP folder before doing any flattening. It would appear to be editable just like a normal audio region and I wanted to just cut copy and paste the COMP folder while continuing to swipe and finish the COMP. Do you follow. I want to understand your method as well since I am still trying to get a system down for drum tracking with many mikes and takes. Thanks for your reply.

Cut and paste from Safari to Word doc please Help!!!!!

I am trying to take a map from the internet via either Mapquest or Rand Mcnally maps and put it in a Word document, and I cannot figure out how to do it. I have tried to highlight the map and cut and paste it in the document but this is not working, if anyone out there knows how to perform this function, please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks
Chris Knop

Hi knopper, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
This should work. :~)
1] cmd shift 4 brings up a cross hair.
2] drag cross hair across the map and release.
3] see the png file, maybe jpg, on your desktop or where you have system store new things.
4] open to make sure its what you want.
5] copy it into word.
If that works, I like Green or Gold stars. See Apple info on the email alerts.
Thanks, Joyous Computing, JP

No cut and paste on E55? Help!

I hope someone has the answer to this. Have Nokia removed the paste key on the E55 when you're in a web browser? On my N96 and M96 all I did was hold down the hash key and the pencil appeared with the word "paste" on the right soft key. I can cut and paste in every other application such as email, text, note, calender, but why not in when I'm on a webpage? Is there a software update available for this or have they removed the feature? Please can someone help me with this or I'm going to sell the phone!

as stated in the docs, copy and paste is only for X and Windows applications
http://docs.sun.com/source/820-6689/chapter5.html#d0e29253
you can emulate a terminal (vt420, wyse, sco ansi) in an xterm/dtterm which will allow you to copy and paste. The copy and paste in your vt420 is not handled by SGD therefore not controlled by the security options.

When I cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I get an error stating 'Out of memory, close applicantions and restart windows'. This does not work. When I had IE I never had this issue. Help!

When I try to cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I receive an error that says 'Not enough memory, close applications and restart windows'. This never works! I never had this issue with IE! How can I fix this issue?

If the crashing only happens with other peoples projects it could be for a variety of reasons. There are tons of asset references saved in the library (the location every item was imported from) and much more. None of those locations will exist on your system and internal complications may simply happen, especially with any runtime shared assets.
If possible you should consider adding more system RAM so you can multi-task. RAM is extremely cheap. I'm assuming from a smaller 500GB HD and 4GB RAM that you're probably on a laptop however. Installing RAM is still usually pretty easy if you have the notebook manual (or grab it online). It typically involves just lifting the keyboard or opening a single panel on the bottom of the notebook but it varies greatly. At any rate, 8GB RAM would help you quite a bit. If you do, just make sure you get the correct type of RAM (again, in the specs in your manual).
Even when you run out of physical RAM, Flash (like any other application) will still see more RAM based on the OS's swap memory setting (using available space on your HD as RAM). It will get much slower but Flash should see the total amount the 32bit OS can handle for RAM (it doesn't know if it's physical fast RAM or SWAP (fake) HD RAM though). If you open other apps with Flash they should also operate, but will also use swap RAM and you've probably noticed your HD crunching a lot while more apps are open.
That said, I have a 4GB RAM in my older i7 lappie and have used Flash CS5.5 and CS6 on it extensively, with other applications open. Although my projects contain mild assets and mostly tons of code. No issues at all. I just think your heavy assets are crashing you.
Either way, glad you got your work done. You're welcome and good luck!

E55 Cut and Paste HELP NEEDED!!!!

I hope someone has the answer to this. Have Nokia removed the paste key on the E55 when you're in a web browser? On my N96 and N95 all I did was hold down the '#' key and the pencil appeared with the word "paste" on the right soft key. I can cut and paste in every other application such as email, text, note, calender, but why not in when I'm on a webpage? Is there a software update available for this or have they removed the feature? Please can someone help me with this or I'm going to sell the phone!

I'm not familiar with the E55 but give this a try:
Find and run the application manager.
Select installed apps.
Highlight the opera program in the list.
Press options > suite settings > access point
Select your data connection.
Now give it a try (after exiting the app manager).
