johnblank79 Posts: 2	Posted - Fri Aug 01, 2003 7:16 pm  please follow the details of my situation carefully, and if you have the answer please let me know. i began recording the vocals for this song i am recording. 30 seconds in, i messed up, so i stopped recording there, highlighted from just before the mistake point to about 15 seconds beyond that point, and used the punch-in feature. once i had it the way i wanted it, i went to "take history" and chose "merge current take." BUT, what happens is it merges only the portion between the two endpoints of where i had highlighte prior to rerecording the section. anything i recorded beyond where i had highlighted becomes a separate wave block. granted it plays fine (there is no pop or anything of course), but for editing the audio, i have to edit each wave block separately, which makes editing the audio difficult cause you can't deal with the entire vocal track at on time, just portions. so here is the question: is there a way to combine wave blocks on the same track in multitrack view into ONE wave block? i can't figure out how to accomplish this. i am using CE pro 1.2 thank you, john

ozpeter Location: Australia Posts: 3200	Posted - Sat Aug 02, 2003 4:55 am  Bobbsy, doesn't "Insert Empty Wave" in the multitrack do this? That's a question rather than a statement because I don't actually use CEP for that style of recording. And I notice that johnblank79 is using 1.2 which I don't have - so that facility may not be there. Any further thoughts? - Ozpeter

Bobbsy Location: United Kingdom Posts: 327	Posted - Sat Aug 02, 2003 6:53 am  Ozpeter, AFAIK even in 2.1 (which DOES have this command) "Insert Empty Wave" will create the "silence" okay but it will still be a separate wave block (which is what Johnblank was trying to avoid). I must admit I've never tried a punch in across "the join" but since it's a separate block I assume it would remain that way even after the punch in. Bob
