4. Let go of the left mouse button. This will bring up the Mix dialog. To

perform a crossfade instead of a mix, hold the Control key down while letting

go of the mouse button. Holding down the Alt key when dropping performs

a paste.

An easier way to select a mix, paste, or crossfade is to drag the block to

the destination window.Then, while holding the left mouse button, click

the right mouse button to toggle between the Mix, Paste, or Crossfade

functions.You will see the block change according to the method; a mix

will look like a solid block,a crossfade will look like an “X”(or perhaps,

a butterfly), and a paste will be represented by a segmented vertical line

rather than a block.

DRAG AND DROP MIXING

To mix using drag and drop:

1. As in the previous example, open TUTOR1.WAV and TUTOR2.WAV. Again,

to make the windows easier to view you may want to select the Tile Vertically

command from the Window menu. For this exercise,TUTOR1.WAV will be

the destination window and TUTOR2.WAV the source window.

2. Highlight all the data in TUTOR2 by making it the active window and

double-clicking in the waveform display. Now drag the selected section by

pressing and holding the left mouse button in the data window of the

TUTOR2 window. Notice that the cursor changes to a pointer with a small

box when you begin dragging. Drag the block to the beginning TUTOR1

data window and let go of the mouse button to drop the section.

3. When you let go of the mouse in the TUTOR1 window, you will see a dialog

that shows the TUTOR2.WAV window as the source and TUTOR1.WAV as

the destination. Leave the levels at 0 dB, and select OK.You will see that again

the drum hit sound has been mixed into the TUTOR1 window. Press the Play

button to hear the results.
