i've got a question related to matrixes in Cool Edit Pro, hopefully there's an easy answer and i just don't know where to look. ok, this first part isn't really directly related but i'm just laying out the concept i'm after--i have an issue with my Denecke PS-2 that causes very brief channel dropouts if i bump one of the XLR connectors while recording. so, to fix these dropouts (usually just for a fraction of a second), i just highlight the small section i want, go to channel mixer in CEP and patch the left channel to the right or vice versa to eliminate the bad channel. so for that fraction of a second i'll have 2-channel mono, but that's of course better than having one channel mono with one channel completely missing.
so...now i'm matrixing 2 sources and i've got the time stretch figured out and the sync itself is done pretty well, but one of these sources has some small issues here and there that, like the channel dropouts i mentioned, also only occur for a fraction of a second. and they are pretty annoying. so basically i'd like to be able to look at the matrix in multitrack view before saving the mixdown, and go through it and wherever the issues occur, highlight that small section of the mix and specify that the mix should only contain one of the two sources for that fraction of a second (the non-problematic one obviously). so i know the concept i'm after (what i described in the first paragraph regarding 2 channels of one source) but i can't seem to find what feature in CEP i should use to accomplish a similar result when dealing with 2 sources. can anyone point me in the right direction here?
