Subject:Effects that add to sound length move marker Posted by: simon_of_grin Date:2/17/2006 4:41:24 AM Hi. I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered before - I used the search function but couldn't find anything about it. I also want to apologize in advance because I have a habit of being lengthy in my descriptions of things, in fear of being misuderstood. For the record, this is a problem that I have only now that I use SF8 - it has never occured before. The issue: I have a 3 second audio clip that I want to apply reverb to - and then cut the reverb "tail" (the subsiding echo added to the original 3 second length of the sound) and use only that to mix into another piece of audio. In other words, I want to apply reverb to a 3 second clip and then scrap the first 3 seconds of the file and only use the newly added length of the file containing the audio that is the reverb of the first 3 seconds. To do this, I put a marker at the very end of the file, apply the reverb effect, double-click and copy the new data that is beyond the marker (the marker is now no longer at the end of the file, but in the middle, as a divider between the original 3 seconds of data, and the echo of these seconds, generated and added by SF). Tadaa! Simpel as that - effect applied and generated data isolated. The problem is that in SF8, the program "pushes" the marker to the end of the file when it generates new data that adds the the file length. This means that the marker I put in there is useless when I have applied the reverb effect, because it doesn't serve as a divider between the first three seconds of the file and the additional reverb that SF generated - it is just a marker at the end of the file, indicating, well... the end of the file. This I have no use for. The only way to make SF8 act like the previous version is to zoom in and move the marker back by one sample length and THEN apply the reverb effect. This, I think, is excess work, since I have to do this procedure on lots of files. Is there a preference setting that can make SF8 act like I want it to - keep the markers at the same length from the beginning of the file ven if new data is added to the end of it?
