'repeat section' without copying certain tracks?

hey peeps on the board,
just wondering if it possible to use the 'repeat section' function without copying whole chunks of guitar tracks i have hidden? i mean, is there some way to deselect certain tracks so that i don't inadvertently end up editing audio regions on those same (in this case hidden) tracks?
thankz ahead

Hi
The "Insert Section" function can do this
(Toolbar or Edit:Cut/Inset Time:Splice (Insert snipped section at the Playhead).
Step 1 Select using the Pointer, or Marquee tool, the bits that you do want to copy.
Step 2 Copy to the clipboard (CMD C)
Step 3 Set the amount of space you need using the Cycle Locators
Step 4 Place the Playhead exactly where you want the clipboard contents to be placed.
Step 5 Use the "Insert" function mentioned above.
More often, it would be quicker to create some empty space, then copy over what you need, but the above function can be handy.

  • Copying certain tracks from old iTunes to new library

    I have iTunes on the Mac OS 9 partition of a G3 iMac and want to copy certain tracks from that into the iTunes library of my iTunes on my Mac Mini OS X.4.8 I have in the past copied entire libraries between computers using firewire, but this time I just want to add to my present computer a few tracks that are in the old one.
    I remember about a year ago reading about a utility whereby you set up the two libraries side by side onscreen and moved whatever track you wanted across in either direction. I can't locate that or remember the name.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi there,
    I copied the whole entire iTunes folder into my music directory on my new mac (as I had my own account on his mac), and then once that was done I dragged and dropped this folder onto my iTunes icon.
    It's imported playlists, but not star ratings.
    Is there something I should have done before exporting my music onto my hardrive in the first place? I've read somewhere about exporting ratings or exporting playlists or something....
    Cheers,

  • In iPhoto, I want to copy certain photos in an event and then have the copies in another event WITHOUT removing the original photos from their original event; how to do that?

    in iPhoto, I want to copy certain photos in an event and then have the copies in another event WITHOUT removing the original photos from their original event; how to do that?

    The only way to do that is to export the image to a new file and then re-import it.
    It's not really the intended way of working as it uses twice the disk space and is inefficient.
    Use Albums instead. A Photo can be in any number of albums and use no extra disk space as it just simply references the image in the Library. Albums can be sorted any way you want - including manaually - and can have image from anywhere in the Library just by drag and drop.

  • How do a copy a section of a single track

    Using the "arrange track" feature in GB X I can mark a section of the project then move it around, delete it, copy it, etc... However, using this approach will copy all tracks that span the given arrangement section.
    I often encounter cases where I need to just clip out a few seconds of a single track then splice it back in somewhere else in the same track. Does GB allow this? If so it's not intutive at all. When is Apple planning to update their on-line documentation on Garage Band to bring it up to the current version that's been out for months now?

  • I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts

    I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts. These are songs I copied way back when from CDs onto my computer.  I can play them on my computer just fine in iTunes too. Status bar says "Updating files" and "Preparing to Copy" but nothing actually copies to my phone. My phone shows the songs greyed out and circles to the left of the song in the Store column and the songs never get copied onto my phone.
    My guess is that there is something I am missing or something I am doing wrong.
    Any advice/help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • How do i copy several tracks at the same time in Logic Pro or is there a way to set multiple loops in one song?

    For example in an AABA song format, do I have to record the 3 As and then do another to fade out and end?  Seems like it would be much easier to create the part once and tell LP how many times and when to repeat each part.  HELP!!

    Do you have to copy each track separately? It would be much easier if I could select all the tracks together for copying/pasting.
    You cannot select multiple tracks in LP9, but you CAN select multiple regions. Use Shift-Click to select the parts on the tracks you want to copy, then hold the "option" key and drag them to the new position. This will create a copy at the new position.
    Let's say you have tracks for piano, drums and bass. In the arrange window, click on the 8-bar "A" part for piano. Hold shift key and click on the drums region then again for the bass region. All three will be selected. Now hold the option key and drag all three sections to the right to place them on bar 25.
    Also, how do you specify that you only want to loop X times? I can get a perpetual loop but I have to turn it off to get it to stop.  This is very inconvenient when I'm playing.
    You can control looping in a few ways.
    1. Go to a region that does NOT have looping checked. Click near the TOP RIGHT of the region in the arrange window. Drag to the right to specify where the looping will stop. This is tricky... if you click too low, it will extend the length of the region. You must click the correct spot near the top to control looping.
    2. For a region where looping is checked, go to the end of the region in the arrange window (at the end of the song) and do as #1 above. Drag to the left until you reach the point where you want the region to stop looping.
    3. Use the "pencil" tool to create a blank region where you want the first region to stop looping. If your 8-bar verse is repeating once, create a blank region at bar 17. The first region will stop looping there.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to import multiple XML files into one inDesign document without copy/paste ?

    I use InDesign CS6, and I have several XML files with the same structure. Only the data are different.
    I created  an Indesign layout with some tagged placeholder frames on merge mode, for automated layout.
    Today for each XML file I have to create a new InDesign document to import the XML. Everything works fine. Then in order to have all Indesign layouts one after the other into a single Indesign layout, I have to use the copy/paste function.
    I mean for example, copy the contents of all documents to the first one. Or add pages of other documents to the first one, then delete spaces between each page.
    So my question is the following:
    How to repeat this process without copy/paste function, knowing that the
    number of XML files could be unknown.
    Thank you very much for your answer.

    Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
    I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
    My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
    Thanks for the quick reply

  • The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. help and advice will be much appreciated

    The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. what do i do?

    Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
    I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
    To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
    Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

  • IPod syncing only certain tracks from iTunes

    I have more music in iTunes than i have space in my iPod. I want to exclude certain tracks when I sync e.g. all tracks classified a Christmas genre.
    Can i do this without having to set up all new playlists?

    If you don't want to set up a playlist to sync from you can use unchecking of tracks and set the iPod to "Sync only checked songs and videos" in the Summary tab. Remove the check marks from beside the songs you don't want to sync and set the iPod up to ignore them. Alternatively set the iPod to manual and drag and drop what you want in the iPod from your iTunes library:
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Syncing Music to iPod
    There is a proviso about managing an iPod by unchecking songs, only use this option if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.

  • Is it possible to copy over track settings to a whole new song in Garageband?

    Hi there
    There maybe a work around for this if its not possible but here goes.........
    I have multiple tracks (vocals, live played guitars, live played bass) that I have layered to be played back over the top of an already existing mp3.
    I very clumsily did not set the beat to the right tempo to start with (Current  BPM 120, but the song realy is 150) as I never intended to work on the track with the need for a click track (ie to add drums). As every instrument I played live and didnt need midi functions.
    But now I want to add a midi drum track and basically get everything synced up to a click.
    Ive done quiet a bit of work on this and have a lot of manual settings for EQ, reverb, compression etc etc that I really dont want to have to write down on a piece of paper and replicate into a whole new garageband song.
    I know I can copy/paste the actual wave form into a new song, but how do I copy the TRACK SETTING into a completely new song?
    Either that or how can I adjust the tempo of the original garageband track without it trying to stretch out my various recordings to fit this new tempo? (as it always does when you move the tempo slider up and down).
    Maybe neither are possible?

    (Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
    Hey
    Thats a super cool bit of info, and mega handy to know. I tried it out but unfortunately when I create a new file with the CORRECT BPM of 150 (Not 120 that I had set it to before) it still speeds all of the tracks up by 25% (120bpm x 25%=150bpm) when you paste them in.
    Also a few things to note on that tutorial. If you have used an electric guitar track, you need to save the instrument in electric guitar and then select that track to be an electric guitar track, other wise you cant get the setting back later.
    Also, for some reason, even though I did it all step by step (my 9 tracks in order were 1 x mp3, 2 x electric guitars, 4 x real vocal tracks) it added MORE tracks and didnt paste the copied over waves onto the right tracks in the right order (The mp3 was sitting on the electric guitar track). I'm sure it wouldnt take long to jiggle them around correctly, but as the song is 25% too fast anyway, I didnt think it was worth messing around with it anymore.
    So, anymore suggestions?

  • How do I import without copying?

    I have all of my mp3 files located on a remote server on my local lan, however, as there is about 56G worth of files, I really do not want itunes to import and copy everything to my local computer. Is there a way to allow itunes to make a playlist of all the remote mp3's without copying them to my local computer?

    Open the Advanced section of the iTunes preferences and turn off the option to automatically copy the content to the iTunes music folder.

  • How to use one application with multiple schema without copying application?

    Hi,
    Previously we are using oracle forms and by that we can manage by using a set of folders containing fmx and use different schema/database for different customers. so the source code comes from one individual file but used for different database users.
    is it possible to do this without copying application in apex?
    reason is because if applications are copied for each customer, and in a situation where a page has a bug, the developer must correct multiple pages across all the application. This would not be appropriate to manage.
    could this be done in apex? or is there any other approach?

    Hi,
    An application is tied to its parsing schema, so it is not possible to have one code base which you can then point to different schemas. I have seen some threads relating to dynamically setting the parsing schema, but I don't think it has worked to well, and would not be a supported configuration by Oracle.
    The normal way to do this is to have one schema and for each entity where it is logical you will have an extra key which is the customer id. I mention where it is logical, because not every entity needs its own data defined by customer. Some data will be common across all customers, such as lookup data and some entities will comprise child entities by which the data separation will be implied by the parent. You can then use Oracle's Virtual Private Database feature to implement a seperate view of the data through the application, based most likely on the customer who is logged on.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards

  • I have all my movies on an external hard drive.  I want to be able to access them without copying everything to my iTunes.  How can I do this?

    I have all my movies on an external hard drive.  I want to be able to access them without copying everything to my iTunes.  How can I do this?

    I think DebinSC might mean using the movies without copying to the iTunes library?
    Maybe the solution is to uncheck this box?
    Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

  • Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

    Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?  The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function.  Am I missing something?  It was so easy with Windows.

    Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.
