Overwriting and replicating

Earlier in this manual, paste and mix were described as ways of adding clipboard contents to the current data window. As your audio editing projects become more elaborate, you may discover the need for two more sophisticated paste operations: overwrite and replicate.

Overwriting

Overwriting allows you to replace the current selection with the contents of the clipboard and has two basic guidelines:

If

Then

The selection is longer than the clipboard contents

Data is overwritten from the beginning of the selection for

 

the length of the clipboard contents only.

The selection is shorter than or equal to the clipboard contents

Data is overwritten for the length of the selection only.

Overwriting a selection

1.Open the Voiceover.pca file.

2.Create a selection containing “Wow.”

3.Copy the selection. The data is placed on the clipboard.

4.Create a selection of approximately the same length containing the final “...and easier.”
