Bug: option dragging audio regions doesn't preserve fadeins and fadeouts

I just noticed that when I option drag some audio regions, sometimes either the fadein or fadeout is lost. Usually it disappears on the copy, but sometimes the copy is fine but the original loses the fade.
Anyone else see this problem? Is it new to 8 or has it always been there? Any suggested workarounds? I tried using copy/paste instead of option drag, but that doesn't work since it creates clones instead of copies. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Bump...has anyone else seen this problem, or is it unique to my setup?

  • How do I add silence to the beginning of a track? Before the 10.0.3 update, you could drag the region further into the timeline and it would automatically create silence before the track plays when you export it. What am I missing?

    Before the 10.0.3 update, you could drag the region further into the timeline and it would automatically create silence before the track plays when you export it. What am I missing? How do I i do this in the current version of Garage band?

    what is the problem? Can't you drag the audio region to the right, or is the silence at the beginning of the track missing?
    You could mark the measures you want to export by the Cycle region. Then any beginning silence will be included.

  • "option+drag" audio vs. time machine?

    I have used the "option+drag" to adjust the length of audio regions, stretching the audio itself. I can definitely notice a change in pitch. I am not stretching it far. Would I have better results maintaining the integrity of the audio by instead using the time machine to lengthen the audio region/file? Let's say for instance I am working on an audio file that is a sampled portion of a classical string piece.

    EEK, no i didn't know i could use a different algo with the Option+drag approach. Not sure what Melodyne has to offer, if it means money, no thanks, I'm better off setting my tempo and whatnot so it matches better. I honestly didn't have a big problem with OPtion drag, I just read up on the Time machine and thought maybe it was a better option.

  • Where's the follow tempo option for audio regions?

    It's documented in the online manual but I can't find it in a project - I know we have this whole flex-time thing - but follow tempo is a simple and fast way to keep audio in sync (esp. if I move a region to another part of my timeline in a different tempo....?
    Also found several bugs in screenset layout relating to floating palettes in the score editor-
    Finally - will we see a 64 bit version of this thing with Snow Leopard? We really need to access more ram for projects with a boatload of audio files and long bar count - My system kind of crapped out the same as 7.2 on a long timeline project.
    Otherwise I like many of the new features and interface tweaks and would like to see Apple contine to support the platform.

    Check this :
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=18%26se ction=1
    you could bounce the audio and in the Bounce window select add to the bin,drag it to the project ...it should work
    if it's a loop you could convert it to an Apple Loop with the Apple Loops Utility .......
    not sure if this still appies as it's for LP7

  • Option dragging to copy regions

    I'm finding it really annoying that when I want to option drag a region to copy it, the dialog box that tells it's current location doesn't show up until I start to move the region. It would be helpful to know that before I start moving.

    This sounds like you have might have turned on one of the "accessibility' features of OS X..
    or...
    Did you install something else just prior to this problem occuring? It could well be the cause of the issue if you did so.....

  • Copy/paste automation data in audio regions

    Hi,
    A dumb question but I'm having trouble figuring out...how do I copy and paste automation data in audio regions? When I copy and paste an audio region I like, it pastes down the selected region but without the automation data with it. I've been rewriting the automation data every time to the newly-pasted region but I'm sure there's a simple way to do this. I've looked through the various help files but still am struggling to find the procedure. Any advice is welcome and thank you.
    Respectfully,
    John
    Logic Express 7
    OS X 10.4.8

    OK, for viewers of this topic I figured this out myself. There are two lines in the reference manual that pertain but even they were a little confusing. They read:
    "Option - long clicking on a selection allows you to copy the selection." p.234
    I had success by using the pointer tool and selecting the automation data within the region by holding shift+dragging the mouse over the target data. The data highlights white. Then with the pointer tip on a line of the selected data, holding option+long clicking the selection AND dragging the data while still holding the option key I was able to drag and drop the automation data to a new region in the track. That got me "in the ball park" so to speak but fine tuning the actual drop was necessary to assure precise nodal location. That can be done node by node or better by dragging the entire automation selection as a loop edit.

  • Option-Drag; Drag and Drop Timecode

    Trying to copy tiimecode from one window to another. When I option-drag and drop it in the destination window it pops in with about 4 seconds subtracted. It's not a consistent difference, but always close to 4 seconds. Cut and paste (Apple+C; Apple+V) works.
    FCP 4
    OS 10.3.9
    I could give you particulars but this isn't a major issue. It would just save some time in this tedious workflow if I could option-drag. I've searched several boards and help files. Does anyone know if these types of functions -- option-drag, control-click, etc are the domain of FCP or Mac OS? Could be either, or, depending, maybe, I suppose, which is why this may be a futile search. Thanks.
    Greg

    Sure Stephanie,
    Attached is a VI I threw together to illustrate the issue.  My code (deliberately) doesn't try to handle the drop properly, it just illustrates the lack of button change.
    Note that my main project code implements the workaround of using a shift register to store the original button value (and then the drag data cluster to store it for final use).

  • Audio Region Blank After Recording

    Hi all I'm hoping someone has a suggestion and/or answer for my issue. First a little background. I do a lot of podcast recording on my macbook using garageband and everything works great during the recordings however my issue is that often times when I go back to edit down the recording the audio region does not show the soundwaves*. Instead its just the solid line, which makes it very difficult to edit.
    Now the audio is still there and I can hear what was recording I just don't have the visual cue to be able to edit that section. The other weird/annoy part is that I can scrub back to a portion of the audio region where those waves show and then slowly scrub back and forth to make the wave show back up. It's a very long and tedious process though and I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have to do this. So if anyone has any suggestions or help on how to fix this bug that'd be great.
    *that's what I call them not sure if there is a proper name for it

    I've had this happen too. You've got to make sure the audio region is not selected during all of your recordings. This goes for midi too. Just set your punch in and out points then click outside the region to make sure it's not selected. Logic will the create "takes." Also, make sure no other audio regions are selected either. If they are and you hit undo, it will delete those regions. But you can redo and they'll come right back. And if you notice, every time you hit undo, it selects all the audio regions in that track. If you don't de-select them, it merges the whole file. Same with midi. Oh the humanity! Buggy. I'll be glad when this one is fixed. Good luck.

  • Drag & drop regions into existing folders doesn't work?! Bug?

    Here is a direct quote from the logic manual on what I want to do and how it should be done:
    Adding and Removing Regions from Folders
    You can easily add regions to, or remove regions from, an existing folder. This is fairly commonplace as you will often experiment with your arrangement, and find that you need to add or remove parts.
    To move regions into a folder
    At the top level of the Arrange hierarchy (outside the folder) drag the regions onto the folder, at the desired position.
    If the folder does not already contain a track that uses the same channel as the source region, Logic Pro creates one. If it does, this channel is used. When you enter the folder, you see the dragged regions at the drop position.
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=13%26se ction=27%26tasks=true
    When I do this, it moves the midi region but does NOT create "a track that uses the same channel as the source region," like it should! However, if I use the Pack folder command, it DOES create the necessary tracks.
    Any ideas? Are folders broken in Logic 9.1.3? Can someone try the following and report back:
    1. Create a new logic session and add 4 files from the loop browser (2 blue audio loops, 2 green apple loops).
    2. Select one of the audio and one of the midi and run key commend -"pack folder" (go into the folder and you should see both the regions and their tracks are now in the folder)
    3. exit the folder and now try individually dragging (just like the manual says you can) the remaining audio file and midi file from the arrange page into the folder.
    The result (in my song at least) is a new track called "no output," when according to the manual it should duplicate the track that the region came from in the folder!
    Seems like a bug to me, and I would appreciate it if someone could verify it. Thanks

    I've experienced this bug, and others, Jonathan. I stopped trying to drag anything in or out of folders several versions ago--just too buggy. Would be great if this functionality gets fixed, but from your report... we're still waiting.
    I've found that folders work great as long as you stick to the pack and unpack feature. Too bad this is one of the many areas in which Logic claims to have more features than it does in practice...

  • Is this a bug or a feature with audio regions?

    ok so I have an audio part in a project then copy/paste in a later part of the arrangement and after that change the size of the new copied part with the mouse(dragging from the end of it)it changes and messes up the original version as well. I just recently switched to Logic from using Cubase so is this some feature of having the regions linked together somehow or is it just working wrong?

    I found the part that talks about how copy/paste is supposed to work, and it turns out that the manual describes how people want it to work instead of how the app actually works. It says that copy/paste makes a copy (a new region) and the two can be edited independently. Copy/paste is NOT supposed to create a clone.
    Unfortunately, the app doesn't work the way the manual describes. Here's the relevant part from the manual:
    "To copy a region (method 2):
    1 Select the region, then choose Edit > Copy (or use the Copy key command,
    default: Command-C).
    This copies the selected region to the Clipboard.
    2 Set the desired playhead position by clicking on the Bar ruler.
    3 Choose Edit > Paste (Command-V) to paste the contents of the Clipboard into the
    Arrange. The paste will occur on the selected track at the playhead position.
    If several regions are selected, their relative time and track positions are retained. "
    "*Copied regions are actually true, independent replicas of original regions. Changes*
    *made to a parent region will not affect child copies.*
    If you want this type of behavior—where changes to the parent region affect child
    regions—make use of the Loop function (see “Looping Regions” on page 329), or
    create cloned or alias regions (see “Repeating Regions” on page 324).
    *When you copy an audio region, a new region is automatically created in the Audio Bin.*
    *The new region will retain the name of the original, with a sequential number added.*
    As an example, kickingloop.1 will be the name of a region copy, if the original region is
    called kickingloop. A second copy will be named kickingloop.2, a third kickingloop.3,
    and so on."
    Looks like either the manual or the app is wrong. Hopefully apple will actually read the bug reports and fix the app.

  • Option dragging regions disables macbook pro keyboard.

  • Bug ! - ATV doesn't preserve iphoto folders

    I have @30,000 pictures in iPhoto... and of course, sorted into folders...
    But ATV doesn't preserve that when it syncs... everything is flattened, alphabetized, and the most recent albums at the end...
    Its totally silly and this isn't just a missing feature.. I see this as a bug ?
    Whats up with this Apple ? Why don't you let me be able to find my pictures the way I've organized them on my Mac ?

    So the ATV doesn't recognize the folder hierarchy that I've created within iPhoto
    Accepted
    The albums just appear alphabetically, and I usually have no idea where pictures are, because the albums aren't even listed chronologically.
    Mine certainly doesn't do that, yes the tv ignores nested folders, but it lists the albums inside them in the order they appear in the folder in iphoto, furthermore it lists the contents of the first folder first and the contents of the second folder second and so on. It doesn't list them alphabetically at all.
    If you don't like them listed that way then change the way they are listed to one you like. (Just drag them into the order you want).
    I want my albums to appear slightly differently on the tv than in iphoto, this presents no problem to me at all, as I say I can have my photo albums in any order I choose.

  • Manipulating Copied Audio Regions

    Here's what I am unsuccessfully trying to do...
    I want to be able to cut and/or copy several regions of audio that is on track one and paste those regions anywhere I want into track two but in a way that it doesn't effect track one's original audio file.
    I can successfully split track one into slices and copy some of these slices into track two. But if I try to move or change the length of these copies it also changes the regions of the audio on track one! I know there has to be a simple (or another) way to do this but I can't figure it out. What's worse is I am out of town on the road and I didn't bring my manuals with me. I can't find the answer in the help manual either so I thought I'd ask for help here.
    Thanks in advance,
    Greg
    FWIW, I personally am loving Logic 8 and since coming from Logic 3 through 5 (PC) I can say also that I really like the re-designed interface.

    Yea, good point. I just assumed "destructive editing" when I initially read the post. But option/drag will work just fine simply for resizing a copy of a region, or using a part of a copied region else where in the song, without affecting the original region, even though it's referencing the same audio file.

  • Beat Mapping is changing speed of audio region, not the metronome!!!

    Hi Everyone,
    I just today learned about beat mapping in Logic. I used it on one song that i'd recorded previously without a click track and it worked like a charm. I'm trying to use it on a different song now (same situation: previously recorded with no click) but for some reason with this song, it's changing the speed/length of my audio region to match the metronome instead of changing the speed of the metronome to match the speed of the audio. What's going on?!
    Thanks a bunch.

    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   2.0 GHz Processor, 2 GB RAM

    Well after many hours of searching through Logic Forums and flipping through the Logic Reference Manual, all to no avail, I've finally figured out what the problem was. I needed to uncheck the "Follow Te(mpo)" option in the Region Parameter Box for the region I was trying to beat map. The beat mapping process wasn't actually changing the length/speed of my audio region like I said it was in my initial post; it was simply playing over it slower or faster in order to preserve the audio-to-tempo ratio as I made the tempo slower or faster. All I needed to do was uncheck that little box and now beat mapping works exactly as described in the Reference Manual. WHY ON EARTH is the "Follow Te(mpo)" box not mentioned when discussing beat mapping?! More importantly, why is it not mentioned ANYWHERE in the entire Reference Manual?!?!? NOT ONCE!!! unbelievably frustrating.

  • Audio regions getting moved about when i delete/shorten/move other regions

    this has happened in a few projects now. i have tracks containing multiple audio regions, and when i try to edit just one of them, the others are affected. if i try to make a left or right corner change, or simply delete a region, all the other regions in the track shift towards the edited region. i just want to be able to work on a region independently without it messing with the other regions in the track.
    also...i´ve recorded a vocal section where i basically am just singing "ooooooh" the whole time. i wanted a continuous "ooooooh," so i made a copy of the original region, reversed it, and pasted it to the end of the original (hoping to avoid any clicks between regions). problem is, the region automatically fades the volume slighty at both ends no matter where i cut it, so there still is a bit of a click.
    i appreciate any help you can offer
    thanks

    *Question One:*
    It sounds like the Regions you are editing are Clones.
    Clones can be created for audio regions (by Option-Shift-dragging). These are comparable to MIDI region aliases, but differ in that adjustments to the start or end points of any cloned region will affect all other cloned regions in the same way.
    Adjustments to the source region do not affect clones.
    You can, of course, create independent copies of audio regions (by Option-dragging), which can be adjusted without affecting other copies or the source region.
    _To make several cloned regions independent of each other:_
    • Select the desired (cloned) regions and choose +Audio > Convert Regions to New Regions+ ( or use the corresponding key command, default: Option-Command-R ) in the Arrange area.
    Cloned regions that are made independent in this way can have their start or end points altered, without all other cloned regions being affected.
