EDITING AND NAVIGATION

EDITING REGIONS IN THE REGIONS LIST

Another way to edit region points is to double-click on a region name in the

Regions List.This brings up the Edit Marker/Region dialog, which allows you to type

in region parameters. Also, right-clicking on the Regions List allows you to

choose from various commands in the Regions List shortcut menu.

USING MARKERS

While regions specify a section in a sound file, a marker is a location in the

sound file you wish to use as a reference point. Markers are often used to tag

important file locations, making it easier to navigate around the sound file.

CREATING A MARKER WITH THE RULER SHORTCUT MENU

A marker can be created in the same ways discussed earlier for making regions.

The fastest way is to place the cursor where you want the marker and then

right-click anywhere on the ruler.This will bring up the Ruler shortcut menu,

where you then select the Add Marker/Region option. In the Add Marker/Region

dialog, type in a name for the marker and select OK. If no data is selected,

Sound Forge XP will automatically create a marker at the cursor position. If

you have selected data, Sound Forge XP defaults the Type to Region in the Add

Marker/Region dialog.

EDITING MARKERS

Markers can be edited in the same way as regions (see above section). The

marker tags in the ruler can be moved back and forth, and shortcut menus

appear when you right-click on the tag.

STARTING PLAYBACK FROM A MARKER LOCATION

To play the sound file beginning at a marker location, press the small Play

button to the left of the marker name in the Regions List window.
