Using The Event Tool; Creating Events - Sony Pro 10 User Manual

Using the Event Tool

The Event tool ( ) in Sound Forge® Pro software allows you to edit multiple audio events in a single data window, which can be an
easier way to edit edges and fades and lay out tracks for disc-at-once CDs.
Notes:
• Events do not loop and cannot exceed the start, end, or channels of the underlying media. For example, you cannot trim
an event past its right edge to insert silence.
• To preserve events in a file after saving, use a Sound Forge Pro project file. For more information, see
projects on page 69.
