Editing audio

New Sound Forge Audio Studio users should remember that even the most complex editing is derived from a few simple
operations: copy, paste, cut, delete (clear), trim/crop, and mix.
The following sections contain a mini-tutorial to familiarize you with basic editing operations. These procedures use Sony Creative
Software Inc. Perfect Clarity Audio (PCA) files that are located in the same folder as the application. While working through these
procedures, these files should remain open and be modified as described.

Copying
