How to deal with tail of a vocal waveform item
I am a singer. I am recording the song "Impossible Dream' from Man of La Mancha.
The issue is at the very end of the song.
The phrase is: "To reach (held longer) the unreachable" (break) "Star" (Note held out longer)
First, what makes this harder is that I am singing to pre-recorded music, so, unlike a live performance where the band or orchestra is following the singer, I have to follow the music. So, getting the timing of the silent breaks between phrases can be a real challenge.
So, right or wrong, here is what I did. At the break of the very last note which is the word star, I just split the track item into 2 items, isolating one item as just the waveform of that last note. I then adjusted it to line up with the music.
My problem, however, is that now the tail of the last note is now too long and I simply need to shorten that track item of that last note so that the tail ends when the song ends.
I'll bet that with everything Reaper can do that there is some trick that is hopefully not too hard to be able to fix this.
I would be grateful if someone can tell me something about whatever it is that I need to do to fix this.
With Gratitude,
