Previewing a cut

Sound Forge allows you to preview cuts prior to performing the edit. This option allows you to determine if you made the selection accurately and if the results are desirable.

1.Create a selection anywhere in Voiceover.pca.

2.From the Edit menu, choose Preview Cut/Cursor. Sound Forge ignores the selection and plays the audio before and after the selection to allow you to preview the cut.

Press

Ctrl

+K .

Configuring cut pre-roll and post-roll lengths

Frequently, the default pre-roll and post-roll lengths are insufficient to evaluate the accuracy of an edit. For this reason, Sound Forge allows you to configure pre-roll and post-roll lengths.

1.From the Options menu, choose Preferences. The Preferences dialog appears.

2.Click the Other tab.

3.Configure the Pre-rolland Post-rollvalues in the Cut preview configuration area of the dialog and click OK.

Deleting

Deleting a selection permanently removes it without replacing the data currently residing on the clipboard. To delete data, choose Delete (Clear) from the Edit menu.

Press Delete .

Note: If the Treat as Cutlist command (available in the Special menu, Playlist/Cutlist submenu) is selected, deleting a selection creates a region in the Cutlist window, but does not remove the selection. For more information, see Configuring the playlist as a cutlist on page 110.
