Right-click the Edit Tool Selector to display or hide components for the selected data window. For more information, see Displaying

Editing pause time for a disc-at-once CD
Pause time is the space between CD tracks. This space may contain silence—as in a standard commercially produced CD—or can
contain audio, as in a live performance captured on CD.
The Red Book standard calls for two seconds of pause time, but you can edit the default pause time on the CD Settings tab of the
Preferences dialog.
When you hover in the pause time between two tracks, Sound Forge displays the pause time.
You can edit the pause time in several ways:
• Hover your mouse between two tracks in the CD layout bar. The pause time is displayed in a ToolTip. Double-click the ToolTip, and
the display changes to an edit box where you can type a new value.
• Right-click between two tracks and choose a command from the shortcut menu:
Command Description
Select Pause Time Creates a time selection equal to the pause time between tracks.
Set to Default Pause Time Moves all tracks upstream so the default pause time exists between the tracks where
you clicked.
Edit Pause Time Changes the pause time display to an edit box where you can type a new value.
