Soundbite Region question

[Rusty Shackleford]

I have a soundbite region beginning at m30 and I want to have the region begin at m1 of the sequence so that all the stems start at the same time. Is there a command to extend the soundbite region (with silence) to the beginning of the sequence? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

One method is to select the region you want (including the soundbite in question) and MERGE SOUNDBITES under the audio menu. That will result in a new soundbite with the silence you're looking for.

that's it - thank you! i thought there had to be another soundbite with which to merge it in order for that command to work but i see otherwise now!

Another way to question a soundbite region is to sit that region down on a hard stool with a hot light in its timestamp and ask it tough questions:
• "Okay wiseacre, at exactly what instant —to a margin of plus or minus one sample— did that soundbite come to live in your space?"
•"Are you making unauthorized copies of your soundbite when it edge edits? C'mon, don't try to nudge your way out of that one. I've got your markers locked."
• Or "Why are you so willing to merge with another region when it has no soundbite? Huh? Huh? Answer the question you worthless stretch of empty space!"

I did that, Shoosh, and it broke down admitting it was imported from a Pro Tools session. I gave it 20 frames with pre-roll of 5 frames for good behavior.
