How to edit tracks

The excellent Start/Stop Time feature in iTunes is very useful to get rid of unbearable intros and other junk. However, when transferred to the iPhone, the cut-offs no longer work, and the user is forced to listen to the painful junk at the beginning and end of the track. How can I edit selected tracks to really lop off the beginning and ending parts I detest? I own purchased tracks as well as CD rips, and want to edit both kinds. Please note I am not referring to edting the meta-data, but the tracks themselves.

A bug or design flaw, but some of the intros I have are unbearable. I listen to short poems (audiobooks) and there are advertisements for Audible.com on every track.
I am on the Mac, not Windows. My forum entry is catagorized as a Windows item in the list.
Maybe the bug is only present on audiobooks, but the cutoffs work on my MacBook pro in iTunes. Very maddening.
Thanks for your reply.

How to edit track info in iTunes for Windows

Sorry if this is a repeat but I've searched the discussions and didn't see one that really fit. I purchased a song off of a sound track and then a few days later I purchased the rest of the album. Turns out the single song I purchased was from a "Deluxe Album" and when I purchased the rest it was form the regular album. I was able to edit the name of the album on the Deluxe song so they are now grouped together in my library under one album (before they were in two separate albums) but the tracks are still not in order. The regular album tracks are numbered 2 of 17, 3 of 17,4 of 17 etc. but the deluxe song is numbered 1 of 21. How do I rename the track number, or some other idea, and put song #1 at the top to be played first??

In iTunes hightlight the song and do Get Info (control-I). On the right hand side of the track's Info tab is the track number which you can change (you'll probably need to change both the track number and the 'of' value. You may also want to check the values on that screen are consistent with the rest of songs in the album, and possibly on the Sorting tab.

How to edit tracks and disc number?

I have the iPod Classic 160GB, and I have a Windows 7 desktop PC which has the latest version of iTunes. I am not sure what is the latest, but I always have it up to date.
I have a lot of playlists for my iPod, and I have it labeled by the albums, so in that particular playlist are my songs. Some are multi disc meaning some are two, or more, or some are a complete box set. I know for a fact I'm not doing this right. In my playlist, I drag over every disc of that album, and track numbers, and disc numbers are one big line of songs. Pretty much I would like to group my disc 1 together, and when all tracks play of disc 1 then it plays the next disc, and so on. Could someone please explain how in steps?
Thank you,

I have to sleep... I live in the UK. Your last two posts were at 02:16 and 05:59 respectively. Like anyone else helping out here I'm doing so in my spare time. And you should have all the information by now... For a multi-disc CD give each disc the correct disc number, then give each disc the same album name. If you choose the right column to sort on (Album) the CDs are listed in order with the tracks listed in order within each CD.
In the screenshot you posted you should enable the Track # and Album Artist columns so you can see clearly what is going on.
In fact for a fuller picture, turn on the columns for Track #, Disk #, Album, Sort Album, Artist, Sort Artist, Album Artist and Sort Album Artist so you can see all the factors influencing the sort.
If you sort on the Album column, set to read Album by Artist, then sorting is controlled by the first non-empty value from the following fields: Sort Album Artist, Album Artist, Sort Artist, Artist, then by Sort Album or Album, then Disk #, then Track #.

How can I share the work iTunes with my home iTunes so I can work from home? Need to be able to share playlists and files for editing tracks.

I've just started working for a media company that provides the music for sporting events. They use iTunes to create playlists that I have to load into an IR machine with hot keys. I also have to edit tracks to create new stings and intros. As there is a 2.5 hour commute, I want to access the work iTunes library from my home MBP so I can work from home. When I'm at work I can share the work iTunes library, but when I'm back home I can't use it. Any ideas of how I could effectively Home Share over the internet with two seperate iTunes accounts?
The work iMac is running 10.7.5 and my MBP is 10.8.4

In that case, does anybody know of a program or workaround that will make this so?

How do I track changes and show redlines on an edited pages document?

I have legal agreements that were sent to me in Microsoft Word. How can I track and show redline changes when I convert to a Pages document to make my edits. The redlined changes or edits, then need to be saved back in word doc format and emailed on.
Thanks,
Dana

I think the Word document has to be saved with the tracking open so you can see it when you open the document in Pages. In Pages if you don't see the tracking go View > Show Comments, You might need to also go Edit > Track changes
More about this can you read in the Pages User Guide, downlaodable from your Pages Help menu. Chapter 4.

Voiceovers - How to Edit Out Breaths and Move Audio Track Together

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 multiple regions in one Piano Roll window

I edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window at the same time. (It is very handy way of editing especially in huge orchestra projects.)
I can see midi contents of all selected regions in Piano Roll at the same time.
1) But how to choose certain one region of many selected to edit it?
2) And how to edit all at once?
Hope the questions are clear enough.
Thanks.
Dmitriy.
iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5. 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
OS X 10.10.2

First of all, the Piano Roll has two mechansim, of what it is displaying.
Selected Track: This displays all the Regions that you select in the Tracks Window
One Track: Selecting one Region in the Track Area displays all the Regions of tha tTrack in the Piano Roll. If you select multiple Regions in the Tracks Window, then the last selected Regions counts.
Whatever Regions are now displayed in the Piano Roll Editor can be edited. Select the MIDI Events and apply the command.
You can also apply edits directly to the selected Regions in the Tracks Window.
I explain all those little details in my graphically enhanced manuals ("Logic Pro X - How it Works")
One thing to be clear about:
Tracks Window: Any edit is applied to the selected Regions
Piano Roll Editor: Ay edit is applied to the selected Events
Hope that helps

I am having trouble editing track names and information in my Itunes library. Help center says click on selected track, click on file, click on get info, make changes, and press save. When I get to get info, it won't let me change anything. Help??

How do I edit track names and information in my I-tunes library? I followed the Help Center instructions, but it will not let me change anything. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Those symptoms usually indicate a permissions problem. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice.

Editing track info in new iTunes 11.0?

I edit the info in each track, album etc, such as creating my own genres, adding years to the track title, correcting any mistakes, etc
I have downloaded the latest version on iTunes but now cannot seem to edit the info of a track that has been purchased from the ITunes store (I can still edit tracks Ive uploaded myself from CD).
How can I change the info of tracks?
Thank you

The option is still there: iTunes -> File menu -> Devices -> Transfer purchases from...
By the way, it's unwise to post email address or, worse, your phone number here. These are public forums with only your fellow users participating, so all you'll accomplish by posting such personal data is to end up on various spam and marketing call lists.

How to keep track of the changes done in ALV GRID Report

Hi Experts,
how to keep track of the changed record in ALV GRID Report. how to set the field to be editable even for the entire row also. Can anybody guide along with code also?...
Valuable answers will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Satish.

Hi,
Access the table through SM30. It comes blank as standard. Click "New Entries" and make entries for changes to be tracked. For example, whenever an org. unit changes 002 and 003 relationship, you will make entries like:
01 O 1001 B002 Activate box checked
01 O 1001 B003 Activate box checked
Here, 01 is your active plan version, O is org. unit, 1001 is infotype and B002 and B003 are the subtypes. You can also use * for infotype and subtype which means every change will be logged.
If you then run the report RHCDOC_DISPLAY through SA38, it will pick up all the changes pertaining to B002 and B003 relationship for org. units (in the above example).
Similarly, you can set up this table for other object types.
For more information, follow SPRO>Personnel Management>OM>Basic Settings>Activate change documents and go through the documentation for that node. Also, read up the documentation for the report.
Hope this helps.

How to use track effects with new version of GarageBand

In the version of GarageBand before this one, you could access different effects that you could manage and apply to the different tracks. Each track had an area containing its set of effects that were either activated or deactivated. With this removed, i am not sure how to add those same kind of effects. I am aware of the new nobs that are provided in order to mix and edit trebles, bass, mid, etc., but i want to be able to add different effects such as voice transformer, flanger, chorus, speech enhancer, bit crusher, bass amp, track echo, track reverb, amplifier, etc. I desperately need help finding out how to do this, as this was a major part of my mixing and producing with GarageBand, and without these given effects, i do not feel as comfortable using GarageBand.

Edit Track Problem

Whenever I edit a track (especially when adding album art) the song becomes either stretched or shortened by a few seconds. I have the latest version of iTunes and have even reinstalled it but that didn't help. I also tried searching for viruses but my pc is clean. This is a real problem because I cannot edit the song info without ruining it completely. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks for your time.

But you can add all kinds of mastering effects and tweaks to Electric Guitar tracks! Here's how:
Select your track, and in the edit pane double-click the amp you're working with - the amp will 'turn around' to reveal the back of the rig. Beneath that graphic on the screen looks kind of like the back switch-plate on an amp; click the 'up' arrow and it will raise to reveal an area - very similar to the Edit tab in any Real Instrument browser - where you can drop effects and adjust at will.
It's an awesome feature - go nuts!

How to edit vocal waveforms to overcome sibilance and plosives

I know there are some tricks to dealing with sibilance and plosives (there's a great article on this on EQ's website <http://www.eqmag.com/article/vocal-cords-removing/jan-08/33059>, but one thing I can't quite figure out is how to edit a waveform through GB. So far, I've not been able to do much other than slightly trim a bit of the beginning of the waveform, but I invariably cut too much off at the top of the "esses" so that it sounds like a "ts", which is not what I am going for at all.
Any technical help on how to edit waveforms through GB? Or is this an impossible dream? I have both a Blue Snowball USB mic and an Audio-Technica M4000S, and my mic budget is already tapped out after getting a Line 6 USB interface (TonePort GX) and the mic adapters I needed to plug my mic into the interface. I also have a pop filter, which could help but I can't quite get the vocal presence I need if I sing from four inches away so it's basically no good regardless of which mic I use.

The editing of the waveform is a good way to fix sibilance at times, but it's really hard to do in GB because the way the wave is rendered in the track. You can zoom in really close and try to do it using the volume automation, but the way the waveform is rendered in the editing window is much better, you can zoom in and find the point where the plosive is happening, but the problem is that you can't set the volume points in the editing window, you can only do that in the track. What you might want to try is editing the vocal track that needs fixing, by itself in an audio editor like Audacity(you can get it for free here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/features )using the volume envelope in the sections where the plosives occur. Then drag that file back into your Garageband project. It's similar to riding the fader on a mix, a technique for adjusting the vocal to minimize popping in a recording. Of course it's always better to avoid them in the first place, and I usually position my pop filter as close as possible to the mic, maybe 1/2" away, and sing right up close to the pop filter, when I want a close-up vocal. But if you use an external editor with Garageband, you can fix tracks that have some popping you need to get out.
