Title: wavelab help
Post by: leehookem on September 20, 2006, 12:43:38 PM
ok, putting a matrix together.  I know how to do that.  my question is:  what is the shortcut to nudge a portion of a file?
after pasting a clip I need to nudge it over just a hair to line up the wave.

Dunno about shortcut, but you can zoom in and drag/drop.  FWIW, I'm only able to do this if the mouse pointer shows the usual pointer-arrow plus a <--> arrow underneath the pointer-arrow.  On my machine, that option appears if I move my pointer around the R channel.

I did a few back in April and I remember being able to hold down either shift or alt and something else and being able to kick it just a bit.

This won't help you at all, but a year or two ago wasn't there some "new" technique developed for working with old recordings where one channel was pushed a bit so it was slightly off from the other?  It was supposed to give a better stereo affect to old recordings.  I can't remember the acronym for it. 

I guess my point being that in your case, being off slightly might make for an interesting experiment.

+T for trying it anyhow, Lee!  HAHAHAHA

no....this will only help if you have two of the SAME channel. The slight delay helps create a "pseudo stereo" effect, (but it doesnt sound authentic)

Do you remember what that process was called, Teddy?  it's been bugging me ever since I posted that.

Well, there was a process like you described that was given a name, or at least an acronym, a couple of years ago,  I remember there was quite a few old Zeppelin mono recordings that were given the treatment with varying results.
