6.Choose the Event tool (
). Notice that the file contains two events: one event for the pasted “Wow” and one event for the original part of the file.
•Selected events are highlighted.
•Events are separated by a thin line.
Event #1 | Event #2 |
Moving events
You can move events horizontally along the timeline by dragging them. Moving an event past the end of the current file inserts time into the data window. You must remove any unwanted silence when you are finished editing the file.
When dragging events vertically across channels, you are limited to the number of channels in the current file. You cannot drag an event past the top or bottom channel in a data window to create more channels in the file.
Events can cross channel boundaries, but overlapping events must lie on the same channels. Sound Forge automatically splits or merges event channels as you move events.
Split
Split
Crossfaded events before channel split.
The channels in both events are split when the first event is moved to channels 2 and 3 because overlapping events must lie on the same channels.
For more information on dragging channel boundaries, see Dragging channel boundaries on page 164.
You can also Ctrl+drag events to other data windows or to the workspace to create new data windows.
Editing events
Copying events
You can copy events to the clipboard and paste them into any data window. You can copy a single event or multiple events. Copying preserves the original event information, edits, and other modifications.
Events before copy | Clipboard contents | Events after copy |
The original events are not affected and do not change.

2.From the Edit menu, choose Copy, or click the Copy button (
) on the Standard toolbar. The selected events are copied to the clipboard, and the waveform is unchanged.
