Description
When this check box is selected, you can hold Ctrl and drag in a data window to zoom to a selection.
When regions and markers are added, this option automatically prompts you for a name. This does not
happen when adding markers on-the-fly during playback.
When this check box is selected, files that are dropped onto the Sound Forge workspace are
automatically opened in a new data window.
When this check box is selected, the Transport menu is available in the Sound Forge menu bar.
Select the check box if you want to display a list of recently used files on the File menu. Use the edit box
to specify the number of files you want to display.
Specify a folder for storing temporary files and recorded audio, or click the Browse button to specify a
new folder.
Using temporary file space allows you to edit very large files and keeps Sound Forge from using large
portions of RAM on your computer. Your temporary directory must have enough space to
accommodate the total size of all files you plan to edit along with space for any clipboard data and
undo buffers.
If you change the temporary storage folder, you will have to restart Sound Forge for the change to take
effect.
Option
Drag the slider to specify the default data window height for a sound file. This magnification level is
used when you load a sound file or create a new window.
Drag the slider to specify the default height of the video strip when you open a video file.
Choose a ratio from the drop-down list to specify the zoom ratio above which the application will use a
peak file instead of the original file to draw the waveform.
If you notice problems with waveform scrolling, try decreasing this setting so it is less than your current
zoom ratio.
To calculate the size of the resulting peak files, divide the size of the file by the peak ratio. For example, a
100 MB sound file will need a 0.39 MB (100/256) peak file when using 1:256.
Choose a zoom ratio from the drop-down list to specify the default horizontal magnification. This
magnification level is used when you load a sound file, create a new window, or use the Zoom Normal
command.
High values show more data, and small values show more detail.
Choose a zoom ratio from the drop-down list to specify a custom level of horizontal magnification.
This zoom ratio will be used when you perform any of the following actions:
• Click the Custom Zoom 1 or Custom Zoom 2 button on the Navigation toolbar.
• From the View menu, choose Zoom Time, and then choose a Custom Zoom command from the
submenu.
• Right-click in a data window, choose Zoom from the shortcut menu, and then choose a Custom
Zoom command from the submenu.
