Editing audio
New Sound Forge users should remember that even the most complex editing is derived from a few simple operations: copy, paste, cut,
delete (clear), trim/crop, and mix. The following table provides a brief description of the basic editing operations.
Editing Operation Description
Copy Copies data from the window to the clipboard.
Paste Inserts the contents of the clipboard into the window at the current cursor position. If
a selection exists in the data window, the pasted data replaces the current selection.
Cut Deletes data from the window and copies it to the clipboard.
Delete (Clear) Deletes data from the window, but does not copy it to the clipboard.
Trim/Crop Deletes all data in the window with the exception of the selection.
Mix Mixes data from the clipboard with the data in the current window, starting at the
current cursor position or the start of the current selection.
Copying
You can copy audio data from a data window to the clipboard without changing the original file. Once audio data is on the clipboard,
you can paste it into existing files or use it to create new files.
Copying data to the clipboard
1.
Open the Voiceover.pca file. This file is located in the same folder as the application.
2.
Create a selection containing “Wow.”
3.
From the Edit menu, choose Copy, or click the Copy button ( ). The selected data is copied to the clipboard, but the waveform is
unchanged.
Previewing clipboard contents
To preview the contents of the clipboard, choose Clipboard from the View menu, and choose Play from the submenu.
Tip:
You can view detailed information on the size and attributes of the clipboard contents in the Clipboard Contents window. From the
View menu, choose Clipboard, and then choose Contents from the submenu to display the Clipboard Contents window.
Recycling clipboard contents
Once audio data is on the clipboard, you can paste or mix it into an infinite number of windows. Data remains on the clipboard until you
replace it with new data.
