WHOLE COPIES
Selecting this option will use only whole copies of the clipboard, and will not
fill the selected region completely if its length is not an exact multiple of the
clipboard length.
Example:
1. Copy a 1 second section of sound data onto the clipboard.
2. Insert 5.5 seconds of silence in the data waveform.
3. Select the 5.5 second area and select Replicate.
If you choose Whole copies, 5 copies of the clipboard will be placed in the area
the silence previously occupied and 0.5 seconds of silence will remain at the
end.
If you choose Copy partials, 5.5 copies of the clipboard will be placed in the data
rather than just 5. No silence will remain.
The Replicate command is useful when you are trying to replace silent sections
of audio with background noise. It can also be used to introduce stuttering
effects or echoes.
PASTE TO NEW
Use this command to create a new data window that contains the contents of
the clipboard.
Shortcut:
Control+E
Drag and drop a data selection to the Sound Forge XP workspace to create a
new file from the selection.
TRIM/CROP
Use this command to remove all data from the sound file except the selected
data. This command has no effect if there is no selected data. Trim/Crop sound
data does not copy data onto the clipboard.
