Help editing

[wildCHILD]

Hello,
This is maybe a simple Question/Answer.
But I'm stuck here. I am editing a bassline. Just before hitting the right note i touched another string which can be heard on the track. I want to delete this part where i touched the string and "fill" this gab with the "fading" note I played right before. I tried to use bend markers/bending but this does not seem to work properly. I attached a picture that should describe the problem figurateively.
Please help me. THX

The space that is highlighted/marked should be "filled" with the "fading note before. How can i fix that smoothely?

1. Cut at the start of the note you want to stretch.
2. Stretch the note - press option/alt and hover over the end of the note you want to stretch. You'll see the cursor turn into a clock with arrow. Drag the end of the note so it just overlaps the next note
3. Crossfade the two events together (x key).

Bend markers only move transients within an event. They don't change the length of the event.

Hope this helps!

I think the easiest way is to use 3 bend markers:
- bend marker 1 at the start of the note you want to stretch
- bend marker 2 right before the note you want to snuff
- bend marker 3 at the end of that note (right before the next one starts)
Then move bend marker 2 as far to the right as possible (onto bend marker 3), extinguishing the snuff note.

Splitting is not a viable option because bending works on file/clip level, not on event level. When you split an event then both parts are still bound to the same file/clip, so bending affects both parts. As proof you can split an event in a left and a right part, bend the left part, delete it, and stretch out (widen) the right part to where the left part started. That will reveal the content of the left part again, including the bending

Note on merging being destructive or not:
When splitting events every resulting event is still a window on the full file/clip. So as long as the events are not moved you can delete some and then widen the adjacent events to reveal the full file/clip. No need for a new file/clip there. You can also move the pieces around on the timeline without the need for a new file/clip. But as soon as you merge those pieces into one event that will require an altered file/clip.*

Same for slip-editing: You can split up an event and then [Ctrl-Alt]/[Cmd-Alt]-move the content of the resulting events to change the timing wrt. the other pieces, no new clip/file needed. But merging after slip-editing does.*

* Edit: Did some checking, and merging in itself doesn't create a new file, yet. It is still using the original files/clips and it is still reversible (Dissolve) so it isn't destructive as such. Knew it but forgot it But as soon as you bounce you consolidate the result into a new file/clip.

Thank you for your answers. I chose surf.whammys method and it worked fine, except i put a crossfade at the beginning and end of the "tail" i inserted.

Melodyne is what I use. Takes 3 seconds to delete the offending note or even unwanted harmonic like an open string.
You need the paid versions that can do polyphonic notes

I noticed that you recorded the bass in stereo? That’s not usually what you want. And it will make it harder to edit in Melodyne. You will need to convert it to mono first.
