Audio region NOT splitting at playhead. ??

I figured it out! I went to the “snap” tab, and the “snap edits to zero crossings" was selected. I deselected it…and it WORKED! Thank you so much for at least giving me the idea to go rummaging through the different Logic functions and pushing buttons left and right until it worked! :) Cheers.

Thanks very much for responding. Very much appreciated.

But argh. I just tried it right now. As you can see in the below screenshot I took, the snap setting is set to "smart", and I just did the whole "split region at playhead" command...and this is what I got...

What is CAUSING this?? So very frustrating - especially when you're trying to do very detailed and specific edits on audio tracks.

Thanks again for responding though. Cheers.

Okay. The scissor tool was actually quite an improvement, and I thought it worked and did the trick, but when I zoomed all the way in...

These kind of stagger cuts don't happen when I "command T" midi regions. I command T midi regions and zoom all the way in tight like I am here above, and it shows a clean cut all the way through with no staggering as is the case with these audio regions. :(

And then using the lasso/marque tool. I lasso this region, for example:

...and then when I click delete, I get this:

The right side of the selection is quite uneven, but even the left side is uneven when I zoom in like I did above.

I wonder if I have a bug...but I'm not sure that's what it is because I'm not really having great difficulty or strange quirks with any other area of Logic - just the cutting and slicing of audio regions. Now that I think about it, and as I said above, I don't get the staggering when I cut midi regions, so honestly I don't think it is a bug. I just don't know what it actually is that's causing this, or how to fix it.

Thanks for your suggestions, however. The scissor tool is at least getting me a bit closer to having clean audio cuts. :/

As I mentioned to Iaanmusic, I finally figured out how to get Logic to cut at the playhead. I went to the "snap" tab, and found that "snap edits to zero crossings" was selected. I deselected it, and it worked - thank goodness! I was losing my mind trying to figure it out!

Yeah. Maybe it's a bug. I don't know. I figured that whatever clicks and pops happen on a direct cut I can just smooth out by selectively using some volume automation, or by using the fade tool to fade out the pop. A click/pop that I can fix easily enough isn't anywhere near as annoying as a cut that I can't make on the playhead! Thanks again for the help and responses!
