COPY AND PASTE FREEZE TRACKS

Hey all, i usually make 8 or 16 bar loops before i copy and paste------->> out to create a song. i use alot of native instruments on some tracks. i can freeze those tracks for the 8 or 16 bar length, which i like to do because its a shorter time that freezing a track thats 60 bars long. so my question is how can i freeze 8 or 16 bars worth of music then copy and paste out the tracks for say 60 bars or so?

every measure needs to start and end EXACTLY on a measure marker
that said, you're doing this the hard way.
grab the top right corner of the region and drag right as long as you wish
or better yet, just turn on the cycle region button and stretch the yellow bar to encompass your segment, it will play forever.

Copying and pasting Garageband track data from a project file to another?

I am recording my music using an iBook and Garage band in the room where I havemy musical instruments and MIDI equipment. Then, using a one Gb Kingston memory stick, I move the files to my brand new 24" Intel iMac in another room. When the files are on the iMac hard disk I copy and paste tracks from the recorded files to the final project file for adjustment.
Initially this works but after saving the final project file and reopening it again many tracks have been lost?
Questions:
1. How to avoid this problem in Garageband? Is it a bug?
2. Is it possible to extract the aif-files from the Garageband file and move them to another file by mouse dragging?
3. Or is it better to record the music track by track using another program (like Audacity) and mouse drag the tracks then into the Garageband?

1. The way you are doing that, you are only copying pointers to the original file into your final project. As soon as you remove one of the single-track files, you'll get an error msg, and the recording is gone. To avoid this, you have to "Save as Archive" the final project each time you inserted a new recording!
2. Yes, it's possible, but a bit tricky, and you risk damaging you projects:
- Locate the source project in the Finder.
- Ctrl-click it and select "Show Package Content".
- Open the folder called "Media", and you'll see your recordings.
- Pick the ones you want and drag them into your opened targed project.

Copy and Paste audio track MIX from one track to another??

Hi
What's the best way to handle this.
I have a video with one long music track, that I mixed using Adobe Premiere's Audio Mixer.
The musician made a new version of the track with some very slight modifications in the music.
Rather than having to remix the entire new track, I would prefer to either:
1) Copy and paste the attributes of the orginal audio track onto the new music track -- retaining the Mix I did from the original mix. Is this possible? I tried it once and it did not seem to work. (I used the Mixer, not keyframes, to do all of the mix.)
or
2) Is there a setting in Premiere's Audio mixer to "gang" the new track to the old one -- with the new track cloning the old track's mix.
Or would it be better to bring the two audio tracks into Soundbooth and do it there?
Thanks,
...Rowby

Thanks Colin
I did a complicated mix on one long background music track and was not looking forward to doing that remix because of various minor music changes made by the musician scattered throughout that long track.
Your Alt (for replace solution) worked perfectly and saved me a ton of time.
The fact that Copy attributes for Audio doesn't work for copying audio keyframes is another reason do do audio mixes using the Mixer instead of using keyframes to adjust volume.

P.S. And a big LIKE to Adobe's clever programmers for including features like these.

Copy and paste ignores track text edit preview settings?

Hi all,
Working with FM9 and another editor that requires me to copy and paste from FM9 into the other.
Enable and use tracking text edits in FM9.
Preview Final to hide the edits.
Copy and paste a paragraph that contains edits.
When I paste into the target text editor, the "deleted" text is also displayed.
Any way to prevent text hidden with a condition tag (which is how the tracking changes are marked) from being copied?
-g

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, not in FM itself. The only way would be to create a finalized FM doc with the changes accepted prior to copy / paste.
It would be possible with a Framescript, though -- something like this: the user copies the text, hits a specified function key, the script pastes the text onto a special reference page, deletes the "deleted" text, recopies the text and then it beeps so that the user can then paste into the target editor.
More info about Framescript at http://www.framescript.com and on the user group at

Copy and paste midi tracks

How can I copy an existing midi track and paste the content to another midi track. It seems that I can copy and paste to the same track, however, the clipboard info doesn't appear to be available when I create a new track and attempt to paste the content.

ctrl-cmd-E does not work? And cmd-1 doesn't work either?
Let's hope then that alt-K works, because that is where you can set keycommands. Any of the presets in the dropdown menu top left contains the commands you need.
I just did it myself, to check it; every keycommand preset there is, contains both combo's I've given.
I have no idea if there's a menu item for the Automation Event list, I guess there should be since there's no • in front of it (• before a command meaning it has no menu item), but I cannot find it, and I don't even know if it works using menu items. cmd-1 should work, always, but it's also under Window>Arrange.

Bad Clicking Sound when Copying and Pasting Tracks

This is something that I can't figure out but use fairly frequently so I need a solution...
Let's say I want to record a guitar part that is going to repeated throughout the whole song. I will record the track for a couple measures and copy and paste that track for as long as I want it to repeat. The problem is that during playback in the transition between the copied tracks there will be a harsh "clicking" sound on all the copied tracks. It usually does it at the very beginning of the song too when that part comes in for the first time. Any suggestions?

Have you tried to loop the regions instead of copying?
And make sure to cut the regions at a place where there is a complete silence.

How do you copy and paste track changes material in Pages from one point in a document to another and keep both the old text along with the track changed thus far in the new pasted location?

Depending on whether track changes is on/paused, Pages thinks the pasted material is either all new and thus highlights it as a big track change or just copies the old material along with the edits as plain text so that I cannot see my track changes. I need to be able to copy and paste in the same document and still be able to see the older text along with the changes to certain sections thus far. Is this possible? I need a step-by-step "talk to me like I'm five" instructional if what I would like can be done.
Thanks for any help!

What version of Pages?
What OS, iOS or OSX?
Are you sure you have the Table selected and not a cell or just contents?

Copy and paste clips in different tracks

Hi everyone!
Since i upgrade from premiere pro to CS4, some easy stuff like copying and pasting my clip from one track to another one does't work.
When a select a clip in my timeline then i hit CTRL+C then i select another video track and hit CTRL+V instead of copying the clip in the selected video track, it just copy it back in the same track it was before.
I know, it's not such a big deal but i fouded it really useful so if anyone know how to do that it would really help me out.
Thanx a lot for all your response

How do I copy and paste text style for multiple video tracks?

hello,
I am creating multiple video tracks with text. I want to easily copy and paste the style, i.e., Font, Color, Size - rather than having to scroll down the giant list of fonts to find the one I want, then change the color, then change the size - each and every time. This is arduous.
I tried copy / paste of one text onto a new video track, but when I type in a different word, it alters the original.
I have 9 tracks of video for 9 different texts that will pop in and out of my video. I would like to be able to copy/paste then just change the text. This would save me a huge amount of time.

I know of no way to alphabetized the Adobe Styles that come with the program.
If you had the time and the inclination, you could rename them all to force them to appear alphabetically, but that does not seem all that practical.
But, if your interest is in the Styles that you save and you do not hit the Reset File List, the new Styles will be at the bottom of the list and you can name them so that they appear that alphabetically at the bottom of the whole Styles list. But that does not address the matter of you having to scroll to the bottom of the Styles list.
In some instances, some things that you think that you cannot do in Premiere Elements obvious features, can be done by computer keyboard shortcuts. I check the keyboard shortcuts under the Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization and unfortuately did not find any that would be applicable to this situation.
As for your changes in one text file popping up unwantedly in another text file, that is because you have text files with the same name. Look into creating duplicates (with different file names) in Project Assets at the onset.

Track CST to Bus CST: Cant Copy and Paste?

Hello everyone,
I'm using a Track CST on an audio track, and would like to move it to an Bus so multiple tracks can use it. However, I'm not able to copy and paste the channel strip settings from a track to a bus! Why?! Am I doing something wrong? What's the easiest way to get around this?

Thanks. This will work, though I wonder why its not possible to simply copy and paste channel strip settings, regardless of the track type? I'm going to send logic a feedback, as this seems like an oversight.
Thanks for the help though!

Copying and pasting attributes and styles of text track

Simple question,
I have two text tracks and would like to copy and pasts the attributes and style tabs in "inspector" to another text track. How could I do this without having to manually set each individual track as I create it.
Thanks,

Did you check the opacity value in the paste attributes dialog?

Freezing when Copy and Pasting

Any ideaS?

I get the pinwheel and the program freezes when trying to copy and paste in Word. Does anyone know how to fix this?

In Word I get the spinning pinwheel when I try to copy and paste. I can switch to other programs just fine but I can't perform the copy and paste and I need to perform a hard reboot to close Word. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Ibo,
This is what just worked for me:
In Finder, I've dragged all Pages files from the iCloud Drive to the Documents folder on my iMac. (Finder asks your confirmation to remove the files from iCloud; confirm that)
Once they were on my local hard drive, the files could be opened again.
It looks to me as if something has changed in iCloud quite recently, leading to this mess. Not the first time, I've had this before. Now it's back. Sigh. And, as you wrote, it renders iCloud fairly useless. Back to Dropbox I suppose.

Copy and paste tracks precisely

I'm trying to create a drum beat with my drum set about say, 2 minutes long, and I want to be able to copy and paste so that it is about 10 minutes long or more. Reason being so that I can improvise and play along to the beat for as long as I want. I don't want to have to play the beat by hand for 10 minutes to get a clip that long.
Problem is I'm having trouble copying and pasting clips so that everything stays in time. I've been able to do this sort of thing with final cut in the past just by copy and pasting clips, and I'm wondering if this would be possible in garageband? Thanks.

I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.
