Re: Continuing or streching an analog sound that is too short

I've been faced with that exact same scenario. I had a thick four-part harmony singing an "AH" that ended a song, but was about 1.5 seconds too short. No way I was going to re-record four vocal tracks just to stretch that final note.
Try this...duplicate the clip in another track and use slip-edits to trim the dupe down so it contains no identifiable transients. Then split the original clip, slide the two halves apart and insert your duplicated clip between them. Slip-edits should be able to make them merge seamlessly, although it'll probably require some trial-and-error.
As a final coating of spackle to further hide the seams, apply a thick hall reverb. This can be automated so it only comes in when needed.
All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
