Neal, Thanks for that info. The wave view is a visual representation. Should we use it or the time view if using only keyboard commands. That wasn't made very clear in the manual...

This will only play the part of the file the cursor is on and nothing else. So, you can arrow forward, for example until you hear the first part of a word and then back up by pressing the left arrow. You will now be just a little bit before the beginning of the word. And, as rob said, the scrub length can be adjusted. Also, using the zoom really helps get the cursor to the exact place you want to be.

One sample, one minute, whatever. The scrub feature is usually what you want. Use Ctrl+Left Arrow to move back and play a segment, and Ctrl+RightArrow to move forward. You can adjust the time moved in the Settings dialog. If you really want to change the zoom ratio, you can with F9 and F10. F9 zooms in; F10 zooms out. Rob Meredith >>> judyw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 01/23/07 02:19PM >>> Rob, is there a way to control the zoom. If you use the bracket keys, can you edit out a very small piece like a a half second breath?

First of all, you can use the regular Shift-Arrows type of selecting. I don't recommend it, but it is there. The recommended way is to first hit C to clear the selection. Then, go to the place where you want the selection to start and hit the left bracket. Finally, go to the place where you want the selection to end and hit right bracket. To play the selection, use Shift+Space. To delete the selection, hit Delete. The diference from Sound Forge is that we let you move around, even when there is a selection. So, if you hit play, it will act normally. To go to the beginning of the selection, its Ctrl+[. To go to the end of the selection, its Ctrl+]. You can then tune the selection points by just moving the caret and hitting the left or right bracket again.d Rob Meredith >>> judyw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 01/23/07 10:33AM >>> Okay, I may be dense, but I've rtfm and I can't find out how to make a selection, audition it, and then delete it like you do in soundForge? How do I take out small portions and tighten the zoom ratio? Judy
