Using the Event Tool
Chapter 10
The Event tool ( ) in Sound Forge® Pro software allows you to edit multiple audio events in a single data window, which can be an
easier way to edit edges and fades and lay out tracks for disc-at-once CDs.
Notes:
• Events do not loop and cannot exceed the start, end, or channels of the underlying media. For example, you cannot trim
an event past its right edge to insert silence.
• To preserve events in a file after saving, use a Sound Forge Pro project file. For more information, see Working with
projects on page 69 .
Creating events
Events are created when you perform any of the following actions on an audio file:
• Cutting, coping, and pasting selections and events. For more information, see Editing audio on page 71 and Editing events on page
162 .
• Splitting existing events. For more information, see Splitting events on page 164 .
• Dragging selections and events from other files or dragging files from the Explorer window to an existing data window. For more
information, see Using drag-and-drop operations on page 150 .
• Processing selections. For more information, see Applying an effect on page 195 .
