How do I listen to the selected area I want to cut (b4 I cut it) so I know my timing is right?

Trying to make a clean version of a song. Once I select the area I want to cut, how do I listent to the shaded part of the song I have selected before I cut it? I don't want to cut the part that is approximately the area. I want to be sure b4 I delete it.

There's no way in GB to listen to just a selected region. You will always have to move the playhead to the starting point of that region and press play. However, if you double-click the region and look at its waveform in the finder, you can see very exactly where the sounds start and end, that gives you a very precise option to split and cut your regions.

Defining the 'selection area' around a button

hi there,
I'm making an interactive pdf from InDesign - buttons linking to other pages within the document.
All fine so far - but when I make the pdf, the selection area (i.e. the area around the button that triggers the rollover effect) is too large - and as there are a lot of buttons close together it's easy to select 2 by mistake.
I can edit the selection area (for want of a better description) boxes in Acrobat but wonder if there is a way to specify it in InDesign?
thanks
Sue

thanks Steve.
I seem to be having trouble even achieving that now - when I use the handles of the bounding box in Acrobat (tools > interactive objects > select object) to try to resize it, it seems to move the graphic too. Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong?
many thanks again. Sue

I have 4 equal oblong shape created with borders How do I go about knowing what size the selection area is so that I can crop an image to fit. I don't want to use paste in then adjust the bounding box to suit

Select a small area and then use the selected area to paint other areas of the image

Hello
My problem is a little hard to explain but I try.
What I want is to select a small area and then use the selected area to paint other areas of the image. Do not know how to do it and if it's stamp tools or pen tools to be used?

Howdy.
Sounds like you're looking for the Clone Stamp Tool. Set to Aligned, the sampling point resets when you release the mouse after painting. Untic Aligned and the sampling point stays in the original spot for the next stroke. It's a good idea to clone onto a separate layer with Sample All Layers selected. Then you don't lose original pixels. Allows you a do over later.
FWIW.
Peace,
Lee

Automation: Howto move the selected area to another place in the same channel

Dear Forum members,
in my automation plugin i want to move some area from an alpha channel to somewhere else in the same alpha channel. As a user i select an area, call the move tool (the v key) and move it to the destination. Listener.log tells me that this is an ' eventCut' with some parameters. I clean-up the code a little bit and get this:
>
SPErr MoveSelection (double DistanceX, double DistanceY)
PIActionDescriptor descriptor = NULL;
PIActionReference reference = NULL;
PIActionDescriptor descriptor2 = NULL;
PIActionDescriptor result = NULL;
SPErr error = kSPNoError;
error = sPSActionDescriptor->Make (&descriptor);
if (error) goto returnError;
error = sPSActionReference->Make (&reference);
if (error) goto returnError;
error = sPSActionReference->PutProperty (reference, classChannel, keySelection);
if (error) goto returnError;
error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutReference (descriptor, keyNull, reference);
if (error) goto returnError;
error = sPSActionDescriptor->Make (&descriptor2);
if (error) goto returnError;
error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutUnitFloat (descriptor2, keyHorizontal, unitPixels, DistanceX);
if (error) goto returnError;
error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutUnitFloat (descriptor2, keyVertical, unitPixels, DistanceY);
if (error) goto returnError;
error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutObject (descriptor, keyTo, classOffset, descriptor2);
if (error) goto returnError;
error = sPSActionControl->Play (&result, eventCut, descriptor, plugInDialogSilent);
if (error) goto returnError;
returnError:
if (result) sPSActionDescriptor->Free (result);
if (descriptor) sPSActionDescriptor->Free (descriptor);
if (descriptor2) sPSActionDescriptor->Free (descriptor2);
if (reference) sPSActionReference->Free (reference);
return error;
This gives no error, it even removes the selected area from the document, but puts it in neverneverland, instead of moving it e.g. 100 pixels to the right (DistanceX == 100.0).
What am i doing wrong ?

Dear Forum members,
I had forgotten to select the correct channel, so please ignore my previous posting. The posted code is working as it should.

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,

What's your setup? Normally you hear all tracks (that are not muted) in your headphones while you record a new one.

Easy Question! How Do I Play ONLY the Selection, and then playback stops?

Thanks! I'm loving STP so far. I came from Sony Sound Forge so it's been difficult finding something that can compare, but I think I have it now! Lot's of advantages for STP too.

I think you're confusing the audio loops with MIDI loops. The blue loops are audio loops which will play only on audio tracks. You can't 'play' those with a keyboard because they are actual audio files. The green loops contain MIDI data that corresponds with a software instrument, and if you drop them onto a Software Instrument track, they will open that instrument which you CAN play with an external keyboard or the caps lock keyboard.
I might be missing some loops, but when I searched for Bell Tower I found only one, and it is a blue loop. So it can only be played as an audio loop on an audio track. However, if it were a green loop, you would NOT drop it on an external MIDI track (I think that's what you're trying to do if you're dragging it onto the 'Grand Piano MIDI instrument'), but you would create a SOFTWARE INSTRUMENT track, and drag it on that. Any internal sounds you want to play from Logic's instrument you'll do from Software Instrument tracks, and not MIDI tracks.
What you should do to find a good chime sound that you can play with the caps lock keyboard is to create a Software Instrument Track, open the Library tab, and search there for a good chime. This will search all of the instruments and presets that Logic has for all of its internal instruments. Try 'Tubular Bells' and see if that works for you.
If you need to use the bells from that loop, do what SC suggested, and take the hits from the audio file and load them into a sampler. Then you can play them the way you want to. If you don't know how to make a sampler, it's a bit complicated. Look up EXS24 in the manual, or check out

In the app search, the selections are hard to move right to left why?

in the app search, the selections are hard to move right to left why?

I doubt it was either. As I suggested the possiblity the two issues were related. One of a number things could have been the cause, and the solution.
It took me several minutes to finalize my post in which during that time Apple could have very easilty got things back up and running. The two issues could have been unrelated.
Chamar - tt also appears you posted a screen shot from the Mac App store. The link I provided was specifically for the online "Apple Store" - not "App" store.
And again, as it's been an issue in the past - I suggested the two issues may have been related; it usually is, because your Apple ID is tied to "everything Apple" - Mac App store, iCloud, FaceTime, iTunes, Apple Store online, and even here, including the forums... "everythig Apple."
I even tried to get onto Apple Store online through the App on my iPhone. I get the exact same screen shot I placed in my original post. At any rate... everything is back up and running.

If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

Touchsmart 320, windows 7 how can i tell if the caps are on?

how can i tell if the caps are on?

If you have the HP Keyboard software installed, you are supposed to get an on screen display that pops up in the lower left corner of your screen showing you when numlock, caplock are enabled. If you don't get that, you can try reinstalling the keyboard software using HP recovery manager (just the keyboard software - do not do a system recovery!)

Could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty

I have Photoshop CS5 and I'm trying to do a selection on a new layer and when I copy it this message appears: "could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty"..
The new layer is selected, no other layer is selected. What the hell am I doing wrong???....Yes I'm a beginner.. ....please help?

Hi There,
So just to clarify you have made a new blank layer, made a selection on that layer and then done a Layer > New > Layer via Copy (or cmd J).
The reason that you would get this error message is you have made a selection on a blank layer (effectively selecting nothing) and tried to duplicate it and Photoshop won't let you do that.
When doing New Layer via Copy or New Layer via cut you selection needs to include some painted (coloured) pixels.
Regards
Paul
PS. Maybe you could explain what you are trying to achieve by copying the layer and I could help a little more.

How do I listen to the selected area I want to cut (b4 I cut it) so I know my timing is right?
