Other Paste operations
On the Paste Special menu you will find some additional options:
Overwrite
This will overwrite data in the destination file, rather than moving data to
make room for the inserted audio. The actual amount that will be overwrit-
ten depends on the selection in the destination file:
• If there is no selection in the destination file, a section with the same length as the
pasted data will be overwritten.
If there is a selection, the pasted data will replace that selection, just as when making a reg-
ular paste.
Append
This will add the pasted audio after the end of the file, just as if you had
placed the wave cursor there and selected Paste.
Prepend
This will add the pasted audio before the beginning of the file.
Mix
This will blend the two files into each other, starting at the selection (if you
have one) or at the cursor position (if there is no selection).
• When you select the Paste Special – Mix option, a dialog appears, allow-
ing you to specify the desired gain for the audio on the clipboard and at
the destination, respectively.
A setting of 0 dB means the level will be unaffected.
• All the data on the clipboard is always mixed in, regardless of the length of
the selection.
It doesn’t matter whether or not you have a selection in the destination file when you paste.
Deleting selections
Delete
You can use the following methods to delete a selection of audio:
• Select Delete from the Edit menu.
• Click the Delete icon on the Standard Commands control bar.
• Press [Backspace] or [Delete].
• Drag the selection to the Delete icon on the Standard Commands control bar.
