A long forgotten trick

Post by Dwetmaster »

I just remembered this trick today:
You have an audio track and you'd like to swap a soundbite for another one?
1- You bring your track's event list
2- You CTL-double-click on the soundbite's name.
3- You now get a popup with all the project's soundbite.
4- You double click on the new soundbite name you want.
5- Voila!!! you just replaced your soundbite with a new one. You're certain it's at the EXACT same place without having to fiddle with anything.

And if you use the event info window (Studio>Event Information or cntrl-e), you can do it all with single clicks. :wink:

In the Sequence Editor, click the soundbite you want to change, then click its name in the event info bar. A drop down window will list all soundbites. Click to choose new soundbite, then OK, or dbl clk your selection.

Absolutinlootly!

I'll put it in there this evening. Gotta run right now, but I'll be back.

Incidentally, I fixed the links on the headers and footers of the tips sheet, so I'm actually working on it again. (It's about time, eh?)

I added all of the above to the tips sheet. They appear at the end of Tips Sheet post 3.
