Copy & Pasting Audio Problem

Hi Ya'll,
Every time I try to copy from one location, i.e the end of my project, and paste it to another, i.e. the front of my project, the darn computer will not paste it where I want! It just pastes it at the same location where I copied it from even though I move the play head to the top of my project!
Is anybody else having this problem? Can anyone help me!!!!!

It must be faster than copy/paste?
Dragging a clip along the timeline takes no effort (from the computer) at all.
Could you have a RAM problem?

Logic 8.0.2 Copy/Paste Audio Configuration BROKEN

Logic 8.0.2 Copy/Paste Configuration BROKEN
When using the Copy/Paste Audio Configuration function of the mixer in Logic Pro 8.0.2 NONE of the plugin parameters are pasted into the new project... The plugins themselves are copied but NOT the settings....

Why do I bother with logic 8 again?
It's really sad guys like you and me have to keep asking ourselves this question, but it has to be asked every time we uncover yet another useful and necessary function that got broken with the release of version 8.
I've said it before and I'll say it again... I don't mind waiting out while Apple sorts through this very much .0 release of Logic, but it would do a lot to calm the professionals dissent if we could have conversations with the developers, letting them see first hand why some things are imperative to using Logic in the "real" world of audio.
The "tight lipped" approach is doing nothing but losing long time users.

Copy/Paste Audio Configuration doesn't work for me. What am I doing wrong?

I've read all the other threads on this topic. Some say you have to save before you copy, etc., but nothing works for me. I open up a Logic song that has various Audio tracks, Aux tracks, and VI tracks. I open the Mixer and select Copy Audio Configuration. I close the project file, open up a new blank file, open the Mixer and hit Paste Audio Configuration. The only thing that happens is a single empty track gets pasted, that's it. This couldn't be broken in 8.01 AND 8.02, could it? Tell me I'm doing something wrong, please.

Hi,
if you want to copy the actual channel strips, you need to go to the Environment window, select them, press copy, and paste them into the Environment window of the other song.
Audio configuration doesn't equal channel strips, but refers to how these channel stripes are configured (eg. which plugins they use).
Or you could create the audio objects (channel strips) you need to use in the new song manually, and then copy the audio configuration, because then that copy/paste process would have some objects to paste the configuration into.
You could probably even create the audio objects after you have pasted over the configuration, but I haven't checked if this works.

Exactly how to copy/paste audio?

I see in the manuals and lessons that you can copy audio from a video clip and use it elsewhere.
What I'm stuck on is EXACTLY how you copy audio (without the video it is with). I have "extracted" the audio in the clip from which I want to take the audio and identified which bit of it I want.
I see from the manual how to copy video, by placing cursor just under the play head and dragging. But this brings with it the video, so when I paste I get the audio I want together with the unwanted video which barges out of the way the clip into whcih I want to drop the audio only.
I am sure I'm missing something simple, but I can ony find guidance on copy video, not audio, althought he lessons lightly say you can do it, they don't say how.
Anyone can help?
TIA

Answered my own question.
You select by positioning the "audio playhead" in the audio clip in question, dragging it and pressing Coomand-C to copy the audio clip. (I'm guessing this is obvious to Mac users but it's not clear to this pc refugee how to "select" - in fact it's taken days to get to the bottom of this.
Then position the playhead where you want the audio clip and Edit-Paste, then trim teh excess to get the bits you don't want.
Actually less intuitive and user friendly than I would have expected, but well, there is it.

Copy/paste opacity problem

I´m having this weir issue with objects that have gradients with opacity.
If I drag to copy, it´s makes a perfect copy. But if I copy/paste the object it becomes solid. This applys copy/paste in the same document and if I try to copy/paste into a new document.
This problem came with the upgrade to Illustrator CS6.
Anyone?
Mac OSX 10.7.5
Adobe Illustrator 16.0.4

Does not happen to me
MAC 10.8.4

I have 2 gradient stops of white, (Opacity 100%, Opacity 0%), are yours the same?
Check your clipboard settings.

Copy/Paste/Clipboard Problem; Pastes only as SVG Code

I have Illustrator CC installed, as well as Illustrator CS6, running Windows 7 x64, latest patchlevel. When I try to copy and paste objects in Illustrator CC, I always get a SVG code. I draw a simple rectangular, copy it, paste it, it's not pasted as a rectangular, it's pasted as SVG code. Same with an embedded JPEG. Copy it. paste it. et voila, SVG code...
In Illustrator CS6 everything works as i would expect it. Highlight object, cmd+c, cmd+v, ok.
In CC, highlight object, cmd+c, cmd+v => svg code [ etc. pp.] This always happens, no matter where (copy in illustrator cc, paste in the same illustrator document, word, photoshop, etc) or what (drawn object, jpeg, embedded, linked, gif).. I've tried different clipboard settings in Illustrator CC, it makes no difference.
HELP!

Of cause it is, but still I think it's a bug.
I don't think it should work this way. First, Include SVG Code to me is not equal to Replace copied objects by SVG Code. When I copy an object from an Illustrator file and then try to paste it back into an Illustrator file, why should I get code instead? Second, that code was not pasted every time. Just about every second or third time. Sometimes it worked with a single object, sometimes to get that SVG code I had to copy/paste multiple objects, while pasting single objects worked as expected. So, to me it looks like a bug.
And anyway, even if this function is supposed to replace objects with code, it should not be ON by default, not all of Illustrator users are developers. My estimate, most of us are not, actually.

Copy / Paste Audio track not functional?

I have Quicktime 7 with the MPEG option. I can open mpeg-2 video files and edit them. I can open mpeg audio files but I can not edit them.
How do I take an Mpeg audio track and add it to an Mpeg video track?
I tried to folow the instructions here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=QuickTime%20Player/7.0/en/c3qt7.htm l
However, at step 2 where it states "Edit * Copy", the option is not available. I can madly click all I want on the greyed option but it doesn't copy the audio track.

Adrian. I apologize for the bum advice. I bounce back between the Mac and Windows pages and sometimes fail to notice where I am.
The MPEG editing features are the same for both the Mac and PC versions. QuickTime can't edit muxed track files. It never could.
There are some known issues (Mac side anyway) about AC3 audio. The third party codec isn't properly supported by QuickTime 7.0.2.
There is probably a PC software that works similar to MPEG Streamclip.

Copy/pasting audio regions between different tempo projects

hi, ran into a strange problem when working on a film voiceover...
did the recording the other week for a new language version. when done i converted the takes to 48khz as that's the rate in the original logic file. edited together the new, english version cutting and mixing together the best parts of 5 takes. ended up with about 200 nice audio regions in a row.
what happened is that when i tried to copy the new english version in the old logic project it gets totally screwed up. the reason being (i think) that the new project is 120bpm and the old one 77,7476 (?), which i didnt notice before.
is there any way i can
1) paste the 120 bpm stuff into the 77bpm stuff so that it ignores the tempo difference? – now the ends of the regions change, causing sentences to to end funilly, and there a gaps between regions.
or
2) change the 120bpm projects tempo to 77bpm without screwing it up?
or any other solution?
thanks,
/r

Hi Rikard,
Beforehand, forgive me for any overexplaining I might do. In case of underexplaining, just ask.
200 regions in a row? On one track, right?
1) If so, you could simply merge all the audio regions into one fixed file. Select all regions on the track and hit the '=' shortcut. Logic will tell you that it is gonna make a new file. This new file you can then import into the other project. Audio (not loop) files are independent of Logic's tempo. It is just that the bar division doesn't line up with the tempo anymore. But if that is not a problem...
Also I do not understand why the new project is at 120 bpm? Is there a reason for that, other than that it is the default value when opening an empty project? If not, just set it to the 77 something of the old project. If there is already stuff in your new project and now you want to add your 200-region audio, use method 1). If you change the tempo, two thing change: the tempo of any mioditrack, and the time between audio regions. The audio regions itself will not change.
regards, Erik.

Copy-Paste Big problem on FW CS4!!!

Hi, I have this big problem in the very bad big moment
Trying to pase text from pages or ms word or even text edit and for example "It’s So Much More Than an ID Tag." into FW.
And I get "Itís So Much More Than an ID Tag." instead. (notice ITS words).
Same problem with other symbols like:
" — " into this " ó "
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is???
Thanks in advance,
Nat

Not really seeing that here but then I have this inherent dislike of copy/cut paste from anything that supports any sort of formatting. This goes doubly for software that exposes the formatting codes when you cut and paste.
If I do have to copy from an M$ document I usually use Open Office to open it as the formatting tags don't get carried over. If I don't have OO available I cut into note pad first.
LOL I spend enough time cleaning up my own mess without adding someone elses too.

Copy-pasting and lifting audio between projects--no playback

Hello everyone,
Every time I copy paste or lift audio from one project to another (i.e. copy, save project 1, close, open project 2, paste), the audio works fine for that session but ceases to play back when I reopen the project later. The audio in the project media / clip selection area will work just fine, but when I double-click on the clip I pasted in the timeline, the clip preview window shows a red field and no audio. This basically means that I'm losing all the edits I made in project 1 and having to re-insert each piece of audio into the project 2 timeline and redo my edits. What's the problem? Is there any way I can copy-paste audio from one project timeline to another?
(Edit:) I'm using CS6.
Thanks very much,
Josh

It wont work that way because you are playing it out of the Clipboard. which is temporary.
Usemultiple Sequences in the same Project instead if you want to do that. to different edits

Copy/Paste from Preview Results in Gibberish

I have found two archived, unanswered threads related to this topic.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1743102
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2226894
User okinasevych says,
"For me, I've noticed the problem occurs after I make and save a second annotation (a highlight, to be exact). For whatever reason, the first annotation can be saved without breaking the ability to copy text. After the second annotation and save, the ability to copy text is broken."
I have found that this is true not only of annotation, but of any saves. For example, if I delete a page from the pdf and save, I can still copy & paste no problem. But if I delete another page and then save a second time, any further copy/pasting results in garbled/encoded text as indicated in the above posts.
Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

Hi a,
I am not reading the post that he wants to do anything with the Cut/Deleted page or info.
I am reading it that after two revisions any further attempts to manipulate the text results in garbled Text.
I cannot replicate this behaviour with deleting a page, saving, closing and open the save and deleting a second page.
The Text I highlighted (And copy/pasted to TextEdit) worked OK.
I don't use Preview in this manner normally an may have misunderstood the steps.

Copying, pasting and editing audio problem?

hi, i have some audio tracks that i originally recorded in pro tools le
(no plugin delay compensation if using uad's or other 3rd party plugs dont even go there by the way)
and have exported them to logic 8 and changed the arrangment for a song.
The problem is when i cut and paste sections of an audio track to a different part of the song, if i trim, cut, mute or pull it back it changes the part of the audio that i originally pasted it from?
how do i stop this from happening?
can anyone help
thanks

Once you've copied/pasted the new region to where you want it, select the new region and press:
OptionCmdF
You will then be prompted to give a new filename for the audio file. This generates a new file, which can be edited separately from the original.

Copy-pasting results in no audio

If I copy-paste an edited sequence from a previously saved timeline to a new one all is well at first glance.
However when I save and close Premiere and then re-open, the clips are there but the sound isn't. What could cause this?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. That is what I''m doing - saving wmp formats etc. as a .mov (I have Flip4Mac installed). However, when viewing the information of the movie within Quicktime, it says that the video is still windows media video.
Still, the problem I'm having is that there is no audio (neither is it registered in the information panel qithin Quicktime). Could it be that the .mov is referencing the audio as opposed to embedding it in the video? And if so, how do I get it to embed the audio? Do I have to use iMovie?
Thanks

How can I copy an audio effect from a clip and paste it to another clip in the same timiline...With FCPro 7 it was all so fast........

The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!
