Logic is randomly creating fades..............

Question

hi,
crazy annoying problem. I notice that when I start editing audio in logic, copying and pasting, dragging audio around in the arrange window, Logic starts to create fades, even when the regions are not touching. Also, Logic will play audio that is not in the arrange window. In other words, It will play an entire audio file even though that file has been cut or shortened in the arrange window. Needless to say, I have audio playing all over the place that shouldn't be there, and fades messing up levels of audio because of the random places Logic is placing these fades. Very strange. I can work around it by creating alot of audio tracks and just moving the copied files to separate tracks, but in some cases, the extra audio will still play. The only real workaround thus far has been to delete the file that's acting strange, and re-insert it directly from my audio window. Then Logic seems to deal with it properly.
Crazy. Any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED.
thanks

that's interesting. Here's an example of what I'm doing. Let's say I sang 10 leads vocals of a chorus, and then I created one "comp" of the "best of" each take. Now I have one chorus, on one track with a bunch of regions, some overlapping, but some don't overlap. Now..... if I select that entire chorus, which will include ALL of the new regions I put together, in other words, the "comp", and click/hold/and drag to another location, shouldn't that "comp" look exactly the same no matter where I put it on the arrange page? And shouldn't it sound exactly the same way? I've been using Logic for many years, left for a while because I had just bought a dual opteron [that's for another post ;)] and have been using Cubase sx, Nuendo, and sonar for the past few years. I'm thinking that one thing that has never changed in any of these programs is that U can cut audio regions, or make them smaller, and U should hear what U see on the arrange page. I'm also thinking that when U select/click/hold whatever key that particular program uses for copying/and then drag, U should be able to move that particular part that U just selected, anwhere in your arrangement. this is real basic stuff here. I'm just thinking that this is a bug, but now that I think I explained it more clearly, I'm also thinking since I haven't been here in Logic for a few years, maybe I'm doing something wrong. I spoke to tech support at Apple, and they had no clue.
they didn't think the behavior was normal.
anyway, lemmeno.
thanks
