Howdy everyone, Jeffrey here in Seattle. I have a question about sound Forge Pro, how does one enable non-destructive editing? that is to say, The best way I can describe it is like any other Daw program when you are working within a waveform and say delete something out of the middle of the waveform the act should create a line in the waveform thus creating two regions now. indicating that area where you edited so that you can then grab that spot and drag it back out or drag it back in to finalize or fine-tune your edit. Or for instance, if I just grabbed the end of the waveform I should be able to drag it to the left and then drop it right where I want to finalize the end of the waveform or if I change my mind go back grab that and of the waveform and pull it back out and then let go. Am I missing something here in this product? This is a function found in every other DAW for the last 15 years or longer in some cases.
it's got to be here and it's just not turned on I have poured through the preferences which are very few really compared to like say Pro Tools or digital performer or sonar or Mark of the Unicorn Steinberg Jones products but in those programs, this is by default I'm available function immediately in any audio editor that I've ever laid my hands on in the last 15 years and is the basic function of most or all audio editors that are placeholders in the world of audio editing and I'm shocked that I have to ask this question but I need really to get an answer to it. Any help is appreciated.
If Sound Forge does not provide this function then truly I think it's a stretch to call it an audio editor of the breed of audio editors that i and my colleagues are familiar with working in.
Without this basic function, I'm not sure what sound Forge really is then I find a stretch to call it an audio editor though.
