Invert/Flip

The Invert/Flip command inverts the audio selection at its baseline, in effect reversing its polarity. Inverting a file, while creating no audible difference, is occasionally useful for matching sample transitions when executing certain pastes, mixes, or loops.

1.Create a selection in the data window.

2.From the Process menu, choose Invert/Flip. Sound Forge inverts the selection.

Mute

The Mute command forces the selection to a volume of -Inf. dB (silence).

Normalize

The Normalize command maximizes the overall volume of a file without introducing clipping. When you normalize a file, Sound Forge scans the entire file and applies a constant gain to raise the file’s level to a specified value.
