Delete data between markers

Logic 2 Software
1

Hello,
Is it possible to delete data between 2 markers? Cant find how.
Tried with a marker pair as well, but there is only the option “outside pair”. I would like to delete “inside pair”.
Working with v2.4.13

Thanks!

@gunter This is unfortunately not possible at the moment since our software does not support discontinuity within recordings.

Is there a specific reason you need to trim in between a recording, which would cause a discontinuity? For example, were you looking to accomplish the same goal as what is currently posted on our ideas site below?

Yep, that solution would be great, but that request is already 4yrs open …

@gunter The main hurdle is the ability for our software to support discontinuous captures. You’re absolutely right that we haven’t been able tackle this problem for quite some time. Solving this is not trivial, but we understand would open some doors to a few highly requested features, some of which include deleting data between timing markers, and continuing captures by dropping samples when USB throughput can’t keep up with the sampling rate.

I wished we could nail down a solution for that immediately — however, we’re currently a small dev team with other projects having taken priority.

I totally understand the difficulty, you would have to trim the marked area between two markers, then “change” all the post sampled data to reflect the removal of middle data. I’m guessing that you would have to modify the sample numbers after the delete. For me, this is useful to trim captured data to help in the development of the Low Level Analyzer, remove data that is redundant, and focus on exercising each unique piece of logic. Saving huge amounts of time running through already debugged data. Can you export the data, trim, reorder sample numbers and re-import? That would be a short term solution.

@stevemorgan Thanks for your feedback!

I wished I could say your workaround above was possible. Besides re-opening previously saved .sal capture files, we don’t have a way of importing previously exported data that are saved as other file formats.

I logged your feedback into 2 different feature request posts below.
