Copying, Cutting, Pasting, And Deleting Audio - Adobe AUDITION 3 User Manual

Snap to markers, rulers, frames, and zero crossings
Snapping causes selection boundaries, as well as the start-time indicator, to move to items such as markers, ruler
ticks, zero-crossing points, and frames. Enabling snapping helps you make accurate selections; however, if you prefer,
you can disable snapping for specific items.
❖
To enable or disable snapping, choose Edit > Snapping, and choose any of the following commands:
Snaps to a marker point. For information on defining markers, see "About markers" on page 80.
Snap To Markers
Snaps only to the major numeric divisions (decimal, SMPTE, samples, and so on) in the
Snap To Ruler (Coarse)
timeline.
Note: You can enable only one Snap To Ruler command at a time.
Snaps to each of the subdivisions (decimal, SMPTE, samples, and so on) within the timeline.
Snap To Ruler (Fine)
Zooming in (by right-clicking as you drag across the timeline) breaks the display down into more accurate subdivi-
sions, letting you place the cursor more accurately within the timeline.
Snaps to the nearest place where audio crosses the center line (the zero amplitude point).
Snap To Zero Crossings
Snaps to a frame boundary if the time format is measured in frames (such as Compact Disc
Snap To Frames (Always)
and SMPTE). This command is especially handy for working on audio for CD.
You can access snapping commands by right-clicking the timeline.

Choose a clipboard
Adobe Audition gives you access to five internal clipboards for temporary data storage. Each works similarly to the
Windows clipboard, except that they can handle more data at a faster rate.
❖
Choose Edit > Set Current Clipboard, and choose a clipboard.
Choose the Windows clipboard if you want to copy audio data to other Windows applications.
Copy or cut audio data
1 In Waveform Display of Edit View, select the audio data you want to copy or cut. Or, to copy or cut the entire
waveform, deselect all audio data.
Choose one of the following:
2
• Edit > Copy, to copy audio data to the active clipboard.
• Edit > Copy To New, to copy and paste the audio data into a newly created file in one step.
