DRAG AND DROP CROSSFADING
To Crossfade using drag and drop:
1. Undo the last operation.
2. Select all of TUTOR2 and drag it toward the end of TUTOR1.
3. Press and hold the Control key to see the crossfade block.This X-shaped block
shows you where one sound begins to fade out and the other to fade in. By
dragging the crossfade block left or right from the end of the destination
file or the end of a data selection, you can adjust the length of the crossfade.
4. Once you have determined where you would like the crossfade to begin, let
go of the mouse button. When you press the Play button, you should hear
the end of TUTOR1 fade out as the beginning of TUTOR2 fades in.

To paste using drag and drop:
1. Undo the last operation.
2. Select all of TUTOR2 and drag it over to TUTOR1. Hold the Alt key down
while you position the paste point at the beginning of TUTOR1.
3. Let go of the mouse button. If everything was done correctly, you should
have pasted the data from TUTOR2 at the insert position in TUTOR1.
CREATING A NEW WINDOW WITH DRAG AND DROP
A very useful feature of drag and drop is the ability to quickly create a new
window from a data selection. Make a selection in a data window and drop it
on an empty area of the Sound Forge XP workspace. A new data window is
automatically created containing the data from the selection.
EDITING STEREO FILES
When editing stereo files you have two channels of data on which to work.The
upper channel is the left channel and the lower channel is the right channel.
In the following examples, both labels (left/upper, right/lower) will be used.
