Subject:SF9: I'm completely lost. Posted by: tomaras Date:4/9/2007 10:00:40 PM Maybe I'm just stupid but I cannot figure out how to accomplish seemingly simple tasks in SF9 nor can I do the same things I did in SF8. How do I simply open a two channel BWF file and have control over the left and right (ch 1, ch 2) channels? I do not have "merge l/r to stereo selected, not that it makes a difference as I've tried it both ways. I end up with a two waveform file that will no allow me to select one channel no matter what I do when I open it. Further more there are times when I go back to the open file selection and find the file folder will not show any files for very long periods of time. I don't know about anyone else but this sucker is buggy with my Vista install to the point that I can't even explain what is happening. SF 8 works perfectely for me under Vista and I'm thankful I did not uninstall it. Message last edited on4/9/2007 10:02:49 PM bytomaras.

Also, what I've experiencesd is that when you try to drag a selection of one wave file onto the other it would always loose the selection while you start draggin, i guess the goal in sf9 is to ctrl+drag is to overwrite , and alt+drag is to mix , right ? but sometimes it still works like the old sf's, but not always, very strange...
Subject:RE: SF9: I'm completely lost. Reply by: ForumAdmin Date:4/10/2007 12:31:46 PM When dragging a selection for mix/paste/replace, try dragging up or down a little first. This is what Sound Forge uses as a clue to differentiate between dragging the selection elsewhere or simply making a new selection. Dragging with no modifiers implies Mix. Ctrl+Drag implies Paste-Insert or Paste-Replace, depending on the destination location and selection. Alt+drag is no longer used. J.
