Question

delete segment from multiple audio tracks

Hey all,

I am using Garageband 10. I am editing multiple audio files. I am trying to delete segments from the entire project at once. For example, I am trying to delete 15 seconds of conversation from the middle of the project. Is there a way I can highlight the section, delete it from all tracks, and have the tracks collapse (join) together. I knew how to do this on the previous version of GarageBand but can't figure out how to do so on the current version of GarageBand.

Thanks.

yes.

in the timeline, drag the playhead to the beginning of the segment you wish to delete, drag-select all the regions across all the tracks from which you intend to delete, and press ⌘-t.

drag the playhead to the end of the segment and again press ⌘-t

finally drag select all the regions across all the tracks you intend to delete and use the Delete and Move menuItem from the Edit Menu

Thank you. This is very helpful.

In the previous version of GarageBand, I knew a way to do this that took fewer steps - it did not involve Command T. I could just highly the section and delete and all the sections would collapse. I miss that :(
