hello there

is there a way to clear a range within a buffer using a message of some sort?

for example:

A buffer is 5 mins long full of audio info and you wanted to clear 30 seconds between 1 min00sec and 1min30seconds. ?

I know peek~ can do this but it is very slow turning each sample to 0 using a fast metro, unless I am doing it wrong?

Perhaps there a way to record within a range of the buffer very fast with silence? Or insert a silent audio clip at a specific section?

thanks, any help would be great : )

have you tried using peek~ with uzi instead? i imagine its virtually instant.

I did not think to try that! when i get back on a max machine I shall try. I´m stuck on ubuntu at the moment.

Thanks DaddyMax ! : )

Hi

Thanks, it works much quicker with an uzi. It freezes the ui for a breif second. but does the job perfectly.

Have great week . : )
