Editing Waveforms: Creating Selection

When editing waveform data, you are editing the selected range of waveform (s).
By editing a particular range of waveform, you can play that part only or copy and paste that part to the new location in the same or other track.

Selecting a range of waveform

The easiest way to create a waveform selection is to drag in the waveform display area. You can drag within one track to select a range of waveform in that track only. You can also drag across more than two tracks to select a range of waveforms in those tracks.

In this section of tutorial, use the file music1.dgs in the Tutorial folder to select a range of waveform.

  1. Choose View - Fit To Screen to display entire waveform data.

  2. Place the mouse pointer on the position where the waveform is displayed, and drag any range of waveform.


    If you select Control - Loop in the menu to enable it (a checkmark appears next to the menu item) and then choose Control - Play, MySoundStudio will play the selected range of sound data repeatedly.

  3. Move the mouse pointer to the beginning of the selection.
    The mouse pointer changes to .

  4. Drag towards left or right to adjust the start position of the selection



    You can adjust the end position of the selection with the same steps above.
    Play back the selection again to make sure that the range of the selection has changed.
