Re: Can't edit an audio file

2008-08-22 by pete_buchwald

Two ideas:

1.  In Real Time:  Set the output of the protected track to Bus 1-2.  Create a new stereo 
audio track and set the input to Bus 1-2.  Record arm the new (black trap) and see if you 
can copy the track that way.

2.  Pull the track into iTunes or Waveburner and burn an audio CD, once you do that I 
think you should be able to import that audio track off the CD.  

Let us know how this works out, I'm curious!

Pete
