CHP. 4 LEARNING THE SOUND FORGE WORKSPACE

Single-channel editing

Stereo files are held together by the nature of their stereo format. Because of this, you cannot perform certain

editing operations (such as cut or paste) on a single channel of a stereo file.

Channel lengths must remain equal in stereo files. Frequently, this issue can be side-stepped by copying a

single channel of a stereo file to the clipboard. Once this mono selection is located on the clipboard, you can

do any of the following:

• Paste it into a mono file.

• Paste it into both channels of a stereo file.

• Mix it into a single channel of a stereo file.

• Mix it into both channels of a stereo file.

Note:

When mixing mono clipboard data to a

stereo file, the Mono to Stereo dialog prompts

you to mix it to the right, left, or both

channels.
