HOW TO EDIT OUT A DEAD SPOTS

Still a little new to this program, I been trying to cut out a "dead spot' in on an audio soundtrack. I have less than a "one-second silent spot" on a music track. Problem is, I'm simply trying to just cut the audio track with the razor blade tool, and it won't let me do it! I don't know why?
I don't know a whole lot about the audio part of this program yet, but I'm sure there's a simple explanation. All I need to do, is cut-out a quick dead spot from a separate music track, that need not to be in sync necessarily.
Thanks!

Mike,,, sorry for the delay in responding, but my internet connection had gone down late last night and now back up. As far as I can tell, there must have been some glitch in the software (or the OS) that was causing weird stuff to happen. I did not mention the other issues I thought unrelated - but suffice to say, other oddities were taken place too.
All this seem to start after a Leopard upgrade a while back, the one before this last one.
I ran FCP rescue, did the latest OS upgrade to 10.5.4, ran permissions, cache cleaned, restarted, and now it acts as expected. I made the audio cut, and edited out the very short dead spot (there could be a cleaner way of doing this of course).
For certain, I don't know what was acting up, but when I double clicked an audio clip to put it into the viewer, then enlarged it, I could see the part of the sign wave that was silent. When I razor bladed it, then moved to do the next cut, the first cut would disappear, and snap to where the second cut was to be made. When trying to make a cut there, it did nothing. I was getting some perpendicular shaded rectangles in the viewer, kind of jumping all around, and making no sense.
But, since I ran the procedures mentioned, all seems well now. So I guess it was just something unknown - as far as I can tell. That may not be the case, but it is working as expected.
Thanks for the concern from all, and any other pertinent information is appreciated!

    I am a Voiceover professional and new to Logic Express. I have learned how to edit out breaths between sentences to conserve time if I have to, but I do not know how to move the track together to eliminate the resulting "silence gap". Is there a way to grab/select and drag?

    How to edit out multiple ipad mail addresses

    How do you mean? the yahoo app? or accessing via safari? or using the mail app?
    Using the mail app there is no way to sign out of mail accounts. The presumption is that the iPad is a single user device, so no need to sign out.

  • How do i fix a dead spot at the bottom of an ipod touch?

    I have a dead spot at the bottom of my screen. I can swipe, put my password in, and slide through the home pages. However, I am unable to select either of the original four menu options (Messages, Safari, Settings, or Music). I dont know what to do, it was literally just working until i recorded a video and it gave me a hard time stopping the recording. Ever since then (about 30 minutes ago) The bottom of my screen has been disfunctional.
    Please help.

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings (if you can)

  • How to "edit out" audio in Premiere Elements 7

    As I have already posted before I am new to Premiere Elements 7. Thanks to the help of the wonderful people on this forum we are on our way to completing our video.
    We captured a wedding video from our camcorder. Unfortunately the announcer at the wedding spoke the wrong last name for the bride's grandparents. Question #1: We are trying to figure out if there is a SIMPLE way for amateurs to figure out how to eliminate the sound track of the last name.
    There were others introduced who did have the same last name as the grandparents.
    Question #2: Is there a way to use the correct last name he spoke elsewhere and "paste" it onto the imperfection? If it is possible, how complicated is it? We are true amateurs. I have the Adobe manual and the Steve Grisetti Guide to Premiere Elements 7, if the information is hidden somewhere in either of those books. So far I haven't found it. Perhaps I don't know the correct terminology to look up.
    Thank you, Mary

    Hi,Mary. Thanks for supporting the book!
    Here's the easiest way to eliminate the name. Remember, you can zoom into the timeline (pressing the + key) to get as close as you need to.
    Position the CTI (playhead) just before what you want to cut. Click on the scissors icon on the Monitor to slice the clip.
    Position the CTI to just after the part you want to cut. Click the scissos icon again to slice the clip.
    Now click to select the clip between the cuts, then right-click and select Remove Audio.
    That's the simplest way to do it. It will leave a silent second in the video though.
    Cutting and pasting the audio from another section of the video might well work, if it matches pretty well. To do this, place the clip you're going to use the audio from someplace out past the end of the movie on your timeline (just so you have a place to work on it) and trim it so that it only includes the name. Then right-click on the clip and select Delete Video.
    You can then place this audio clip on Audio 2, right above where you cut the audio.
    If you really want to blend it, see if you can fit the new audio right into the spot where you deleted the old. (As it says in the book, you'll likely need to hold down the Ctrl key to do this.) Once it's in there (assuming it fits) add some short audio transitions on either side of it to blend it with the rest of the audio.

  • How to jump out a dead loop?

    I made a java program with a GUI. When I pressed a button, the program would go into a dead loop. I supposed the program would jump out of when I pressed any of other button. So I set a global boolean variable, any button pressing event would set the variable as "true". Then I wanted the program break the dead loop by judging the boolean variable.
    However, when the program went into the dead loop, it seemed not to respond to any mouse or keyboard event, even the closing all window operation. I had to kill the program by press ctrl+alt+del!!!
    I don't know whether there is something wrong with my program, or it should be like this in java and must be bypassed by some tricky way.
    I don't want to use multithreads to bypass the problem. First, it is very clumsy. I don't want to make my program much more complicated only because of a very simple dead loop. Second, I used vtk in my program and vtk is unsafe for multithreads.
    Please give me a idea. Thanks a lot in advance!
    Regards
    Lian

    You use the event thread to run the loop. So as long as it is running in that loop, it cannot continue and listen for other events, nor repaint your gui.
    So you would have to make a thread that runs the loop so the event thread can continue with its works.
    Event methods like actionPerformed should not take long to execute, if it does, you should always run that code in its own thread.

  • Dead spots and pops.

    Hello everyone
    Well I'v been using Logic Pro 7.2 for a couple months and loving it. I don't have a high-end studio just my G4 Powermac 2x 1.6, 1.5 gig of ram. but Im starting to notice when play some EXS24 sampler or my plug-in's Im getting pop's or cut out in sound while playing. Now I was told that my internal sound card build in my G4 should be ok(digital Audio). But is this being caused by not having a better sound card. Since Im learning and don't need high end system, could this be stopped by getting a AudioPhile 192 sound card. For the price it seem pretty good, or maybe not I could be wrong. All i have is my midi keyboard and padkontrol and I just want to be able to play all sample with out hearing dead spot while playing or click and sometime pops. It seems like when i get to 8 voices ,but most of the time it never goes past 11 voices, that when I start to hear it. But not all the time. OK well I would love anyone feed back,
    thank you for your time.

    Hi Carl,
    On my tower ( similar to yours ) I could do about 500 voices ( quick test ) using internal audio system 256 and 48000 - this system is well optimized for audio and Software development... but you should not get 2% the polyphony I do. In fact, that setting performed better using internal ( vs, internal ) for the test... whatever. The real problem lies somewhere in the setup, settings...
    How many drives are you using?
    What does Activity Monitor tell you is happening? - anything suspicious?
    If you may say your lso originated from a session that could be old, run setup asst and create a new one - usually, performance will be better with a fresh template. I have recieved windows sessions and worked with corrupt sessions that behaved this well...
    any 3rd party AUs at the time this happens?
    Are you reading your samples of the System Volume or a volume on the same drive?
    Tried this with Virtual memory ( for EXS24 ) on? off? - if on, configure it to allocate the most memory.
    Any other audio apps?
    How do you fare in GB? ( GB's sampler is essentially an EXS24 engine in a box with a white label and plain black letters - just a generic UI over the sampler engine )

  • Recorded a software instrument on garageband, how do I edit out the "silence"?

    I have recorded a software track, how do I edit out the "silence" that was created before and after I recorded using the keyboard?
    Hope that made sense, thanks.

    If you want to get rid of it forever, you could also snip and delete it:
    Move the red timeline to the spot where you want to snip and remove the silence before your music comes in. Press Command T to snip. Then click anywhere in the work area to deselect all segments. Then select the beginning silent segment by clicking on it, and delete. Do the same at the end.

  • Can't figure out how to edit a Draft e-mail message--simple, right? Wrong.

    OK, sorry if this is too basic and belongs in the Getting Started folder, but I couldn't find the problem here or in that location.
    I thought I could figure out how to edit a message in the Drafts folder. I tried; it didn't work. I looked online, found a tutorial, which showed that I was indeed trying to do the right thing the right way. So why doesn't it work????
    Here's what happens.
    I start an e-mail message, click Cancel, then save as a Draft. That works fine. But then...
    From the Home screen, I tap Mail.
    On the Mailboxes screen, I tap Drafts (there's a number on the right -- 2 -- which disagrees with the number of messages actually seen -- 1 -- at the next step; I don't know if that's an important detail or not).
    I see the draft message I want to edit. I tap it.
    I tap Edit. According to the tutorial, the message is supposed to open up for me to edit further. But it doesn't. Instead...
    The two lines representing the message (Recipient and first few words) move a bit to the right, and the Edit button changes to Cancel.
    A dull red Delete button and a blue-gray Move button show up at the bottom. But the first line of the draft message, which has (accurately) shown up under the boldface "(No Recipient)" line, stays where it is -- showing as part of an entry in the list but not as something I can edit. I don't see the complete message, and I can't edit anything, even though I think I have just entered an Edit mode.
    I click those two lines, and a red checkmark appears on the left, and the dull buttons at the bottom become brighter red and brighter blue-gray.
    Tapping, double-tapping, tap-and-holding... all just toggle that checkmark on and off.
    THIS MUST BE REALLY SIMPLE... HOW DO I EDIT THE TEXT OF THE DRAFT MESSAGE????

    Zero replies??? Wow, I guess this is a really uncommon problem.
    Well, the Genius Bar fixed the problem. They confirmed that it WAS real, and they couldn't figure out how it had gotten that way. There must have been some internal list in an inconsistent state... or something.
    The fix was to deactivate my MobileMe account on my iPhone -- just wipe it out. Then they re-activated it. Everything re-synched and the problem was gone.

  • How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

    How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

    You can blur it out with retouch
    The built-in "Retouch" brush in "Edit" mode should suffice, if the background is mostly uniform, and if you set the size of the brush to slightly wider than the bar width of the letters. For example, in this picture I removed the year from the date (in the lower right corner) by using the "retouch" brush and following the contours of the letters. (the screen shot is from iPhoto '11, but iPhoto 9 should give similar results).

  • Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?

    Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?  I thought upgrading to Mountain Lion would work, but I'm having the same problem as before under Snow Leopard.  So, here's my situation. 
    I'm running 10.8.2 on a Macbook Pro.  I have a 3GS iPhone running 6.0.1.  I can make entries on my Mac Calendar and they will show up on my iPhone, but if I make an entry on my iPhone, it never makes it to my Mac.  Also, I notice that when I log in to my iCloud account on my Mac, it has a "me.com" email address as my apple i.d., but it is not my primary account i.d. and I can't figure out how to delete it.  Also, my Reminders application won't allow me to delete lists I created.  Contacts, on the other hand, work instantaneously regardless of where the change is initiated.

    On you iPhone check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the calendars section).  Here be sure you have selected the Calendar listed under your iCloud account ID as your default.  If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
    You should be able to delete you reminders list by, from the Lists view, tapping Edit at the top, then tapping next to the list you want to delete and tapping Delete.

  • How do i edit out the dark places in a pdf?

    how do i edit out the dark places in a pdf? I xeroxed pages from a book, and the xeroxes were not of great quality--lots of shadows where the book opened on the copier glass.
    When I had the xeroxes scanned, the dark places turned deep black and made the xeroxed/ scanned texts almost unreadable.
    How can I lighten the images in the PDFs so that the text is readable again?
