Copy or cut audio data

In the Waveform Editor, select the audio data you want to copy or cut. Or, to copy or cut the entire waveform, deselect all audio data.

Choose one of the following:

Edit > Copy to copy audio data to the clipboard.

Edit > Copy To New to copy and paste the audio data into a newly created file.

Edit > Cut to remove audio data from the current waveform and copy it to the clipboard.

To the top

Paste audio data

Do either of the following:

To paste audio into the current file, place the current-time indicator where you want to insert the audio or select existing audio you want to replace. Then choose Edit > Paste.

To paste audio data into a new file, choose Edit > Paste To New. The new file automatically inherits the sample type (rate and bit depth) from the original clipboard material.

Mix audio data when pasting

In the Editor panel, place the current-time indicator

where you want to start mixing the audio data. Alternately, select the audio data you want to replace.

Choose Edit > Mix Paste.

Set the following options:

Copied and Existing Audio

Adjust the percentage of each.

Invert Copied Audio

Reverses the phase of copied audio, either exaggerating or reducing phase cancellation if the existing audio contains similar content. (To understand phase cancellation, see How sound waves interact.)

Modulate

Modulates the amount of copied and existing audio, producing more audible variation.

Crossfade

Applies a crossfade to the beginning and end of the pasted audio, producing smoother transitions. Specify the fade length in milliseconds.

To the top

Delete or crop audio

Do one of the following:

Select audio you want to delete, and choose Edit > Delete.

Select audio you want to keep, and choose Edit > Crop. (Unwanted audio at the beginning and end of the file is removed.)
