first off, this is done in audio montage, correct? i've been trying this for a while now and can't seem to get it right :P. ok, this is what i'm doing...where am i going wrong?
1. open each file in a montage window
2. select the second file, click edit, click copy
3. go to first file window, right click at the end of the file and choose paste
4. at this point i get a few options...add/mix, split/insert, etc...
5. not having any luck with these, i tried using the paste command at the top tool bar. this worked as i would have expected it to, but it didn't connect the two files seamlessly. i put the cursor at what appeared to be right at the end of the first file but i still get a short gap on playback
any suggestion would be most helpful. this is the easiest task in the world with audacity. it's a simple copy/paste and audacity automatically merges the two files seamlessly but the process creates a click at the merge point. i'm sure it is just as easy with wavelab. i'm just missing something simple. thanks for your help!

I assume you mean where the split was from 2 gig limit. after cd wave combining the two tracks as one? if so do not do it in the montage. simply open each track in regular wavelab. on the second one select all and copy. then on the first one hit the right arrow so it take you to the very end of the track and paste. save and delete the other one.

essentially yes, although it wasn't from a 2g split. it was from a mistaken start new file command(not my recording). so yeah, i have a set that is two files. i just need to combine them into one file for tracking. i'll try your tip. thanks Gordon!

I don't know about WL5 but, in WL6 after you have opened the first file, under edit there is a selection called insert audio file. You can choose end, beginning or at cursor position. Maybe that was added to WL6.

damnit! wavelab created the same damn click at the join point just like audacity did. is everybody getting a click when you join two files in wavelab? wtf!

no! this sounds to me like the click is at the end or beginning of one of the files. possibly caused by the recorder itself. what was it recorded on? I've heard MT's don't make a clean cut but I don't know.

Were the two tracks split seamlessly in the first place? Perhaps the issue is not the combining, but the splitting.

it was recorded on a jb3. is that the problem?

jb3's can split seamlessly if the settings are set up correctly. sounds like they weren't. so your best bet is to edit the click out and do a crossfade in the montage if necessary.

MT II makes a perfect cut.

when i ran jb3, i had to cut the very first second off due to this. i always had a click at the beginning with a jb3
