THE MAIN SCREEN
When you start Sound Forge XP, the main screen, or workspace, opens. This is
where you will do all of your sound editing. The very first time you open
Sound Forge XP, no data windows are open and you will need to either open
an existing sound file or create a new one. There are a variety of ways to do
this, which are all described below.
The important parts of the Sound Forge XP screen are labeled in the above
diagram. The following list briefly describes how each functions.
Program Title Bar Shows the program name and the name of the
currently active data window (if the data
window is maximized within the workspace).
Data Window When a sound file is opened, it is graphically
displayed within its own data window. Data
windows can be arranged, resized, or
minimized.
