Hi Neal,

Hitting the letter "c" doesn't do anything with the clipboard, it just clears the selection. Under the "Edit Menu" there is a choice that actually does clear the clipboard.

Blessings,

Brian

Pam, you are of course right about the hitting C to clear the selection.
I have always thought this a bit strange however.  In most all windows
applications, when you copy something to the clipboard it erases what is
already there.  Some applications allow one to append to the clipboard,
but I have never had one that I had to clear the selection first.  Also,
I don't always find the normal Windows controls for select all to work.
I can do control A and then copy it to the clipboard.  I can then go to
another file and paste it in.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it does
not.  Again, it's probably because I have not pressed c to clear the
previous selection.  And so now, we are back to my quandary about
pressing C in the first place.  No need to answer this unless you wish.
I am sure Rob will set me straight on Monday or whenever he gets back.

Thanks

Neal

Jonathan:

Our expert is out of the office today, but I will try to answer your
questions.  First, as far as your copying problems go--I think that what
is happening is that you are not clearing the clipboard before making
another selection.  Therefore, your previous selections are still being
honored.  Before doing the next selection, hit c first, then make your
new selections.

Second, you could use the CD Block commands, but remember that they
have to be on even sample boundaries.  This could be tricky.
Personally, I find it easier to copy what I want into separate files,
using the selection method, then Control x, followed by control d to
paste it into a new file.  You can then save that file with the
appropriate track name and make a CD with those files.

Hope that helps.  If not, we can pick the professor's brain on Monday.

Hi All,

First, a problem I am having.

If I copy something to the clipboard with control+C, and then paste
it,
all is well.  However, if I do this a second time, what I originally
copied keeps getting pasted, even if I select something different with
the brackets and press control+c to copy something completely
different.
I have to close and reopen SR to fix this.  Any idea why this is
happening?

Also, I have tracks on a CD that have multiple elements.  In other
words, I have a 25 minute long file with small audio elements that are
separated by a few seconds.  Is there anyway to use Studio to separate
these elements into separate files?  Could I use the CD block commands
somehow to do this?

Thanks,
Jonathan
