One Hit Wonder
This is probably an easy one (or maybe not). I was recording 3 vocalists in harmony. On one particular note (an oooh) one of the three singers held the note too long.
Rather than re-singing the part, I thought I could fix this by removing a little section out of the middle of the "ooh" waveform, and then sliding the ending part of the note over to match. (I thought this to be a better approach than just cutting off the end of the note, which I felt would be too abrubt a stop.)
It worked beautifully - except you could hear some type of glitch where the two pieces came together. I'm pretty sure I had the "zero crossing" setting enabled when I did my cuts.
I thought I read somewhere that this is where you would use a "crossfade". However, I tried to apply one and it didn't seem to make an audible difference (could be I was applying it wrong). Any help here? Usually all my cuts have been in silent sections. This is the first time I've tried to make a cut in the middle of a wave. Can it be done?
