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 Sound Forge’s basic editing operations.
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. |
