hi how do i re arrange a song with mulitple tracks in acic music 2.0. lets say i have multiple tracks with verse- chorus-bridge-verse-chorus, and i want to make it verse- bridge-chorus-chorus-verse. is my only option to split at the changes and select (control mouse click) all the little chunks and slivers then move them? is there a way to just mouse hi-lite all the little parts like in a spread sheet, then move them? parts may overlap from verse to chorus and need to be cut at the transition. the control-mouse click would require a bout a zillion moves to get the job done. thanks |

You can select several "chunks" at a time with the Select Tool. It's the button with a mouse logo on it, which you can find in the ACID toolbar next to the Pencil Tool. Click on this button. Now click on an event and (while holding the mousebutton down) drag the mouse over the other parts you wish selected. ryanw wrote: >>hi how do i re arrange a song with mulitple tracks in acic >>music 2.0. lets say i have multiple tracks with verse- >>chorus-bridge-verse-chorus, and i want to make it verse- >>bridge-chorus-chorus-verse. is my only option to split at >>the changes and select (control mouse click) all the little >>chunks and slivers then move them? is there a way to just >>mouse hi-lite all the little parts like in a spread sheet, >>then move them? parts may overlap from verse to chorus and >>need to be cut at the transition. the control-mouse click >>would require a bout a zillion moves to get the job done. >>thanks |

actually i do that, but when i copy- paste it it moves that section plus the start or tail of those individual tracks, rather than taking only the hi-lited section. the sloution would be to split at cursor for all the tracks, the hi-lite-move. what i would like to do is just hi-lite move woithout splitting so i dont have to commit to the split. example: i would like to take this section I I but it takes ^ ------------------ this too tracks ------------------------- ---------------------- ------------- ======================= time> |

Ok, I know what you mean. And I have the same problem. To my knowledge want we want is not possible. Indeed, you'd have to split the events at cursor and then move them. But that leaves the annoying task of 'glue-ing' the splitted events together again... ryanw wrote: >>actually i do that, but when i copy- paste it it moves that section >>plus the start or tail of those individual tracks, rather than taking >>only the hi-lited section. the sloution would be to split at cursor >>for all the tracks, the hi-lite-move. what i would like to do is just >>hi-lite move woithout splitting so i dont have to commit to the split. >> >>example: >> >> >> i would like >> to take >> this section >> >> I I but it takes >> ^ ------------------ this too >> tracks ------------------------- >> ---------------------- >> ------------- >> ======================= >> >> time> |

That's right - unfortunately it is not possible. The S (split) command is the only way. Thanks. ATP wrote: >>Ok, I know what you mean. And I have the same problem.
