• Selected events are highlighted.
• Events are separated by a thin line.
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.
Crossfaded events before channel split.
Split
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.
