wave editing

[MichaelF]

I know I can edit wave files in n-Track, but should I? Reason I ask is that I've been trying to figure out a way to "cut" a selection from multiple tracks so that the parts remaining line up where they are supposed to. I've tried selecting multiple tracks (so that you see the white border around each of them), and then select a part by dragging in the timeline. Seems like it should work, but when I "cut", only the first track selected is affected. Can n-Track do this?

thx for your help,

Does anybody have an opinion on this question? I assume the readers of this forum are n-Track users. Even "what a dumb ass question" would be better than no response at all. But that's typical of the responses I usually get.

I'll post a question (not necessarily on this forum) with all the info I have at my disposal and get flamed for not giving details, then, somebody will post this: "I dunno, I got this thingy I wanna plug-in somewhere and I wanna record a million-selling CD". Lo and behold, it's like a stampede to help the user out.

I guess I'll try that tactic in a round-a-bout way to get a simple answer!

thanks for all your help,

Maybe it's because nobody knew the answer and there's nothing worse than some dork who posts "I dunno" in response to every question he doesn't know

If you select multiple tracks and do a cut, that part is removed from each track. If you hold down the shift key while choosing cut, that part is removed from each track AND the remaining portion of the track slides over so there is no gap.

You're not alone. If it's not the "thingy" question, it's some idiot talking nonsense, yet trying to come off like a manufacturer's rep - "If ya take an optical cable and run it from your USB port into your mixer, and sub master your aux buss to the A/D converter on your mouse, you can record 8 simultaneous digital tracks to your Walkman. I do it all the time at this studio in my buddy's tool shed..."

Good question though - I always see the "launch wave editor" menu option and figure that means "don't uninstall Sound Forge just yet..."
