Editing Markers or Regions |
|
Use the Edit Marker/Region dialog to change information about an existing marker or region in a file.
Select an entry in the Regions List.
If
the Regions List is not visible, choose Regions
List from the View menu or press Alt+1.
From the Special menu, choose Regions List and choose Edit from the submenu (or double-click an entry in the regions list) to display the Edit Marker/Region dialog.
Right-click a marker
or region tag
and choose Edit
from the shortcut menu.
Edit the items on the Edit Marker/Region dialog to change the parameters of the marker or region. The items on the dialog are explained below.
Click the OK button.
By default, markers and regions are named using the cursor position or selection (such as Region 00:00:00.00 to 00:00:01.04 or Marker 00:00:00.19).
Use the Name box to enter a new name to identify a marker or region.
Click the Marker or Region radio button to specify whether you want to add a marker or a region:
A marker is a single point in your file.
A region is defined by a start and end point and has an associated length. If you change a marker to a region, the marker position is used as the start of the region. Use the End or Length boxes to specify the region's span.
In the Start box, specify the beginning point of the marker or region. Sound Forge automatically fills in this value based on your selection or cursor position.
Start
is the only available setting when the Marker
radio button is selected.
In the End box, specify the ending point of the region. Sound Forge automatically fills in this value based on your selection or cursor position.
In the Length box, specify the length point of the region. Sound Forge automatically fills in this value based on your selection or cursor position.
Choose an input format from the Input Format drop-down list. This format is used to display the values in the Start, End, and Length boxes.
Click the Play button:
If the Marker radio button is selected, the entire sound file will play back starting at the marker position.
If the Region radio button is selected, only the specified region will play back.
Select a trigger type from the Trigger drop-down list if you want to trigger a region or marker using MIDI commands.
In the Channel box, specify the MIDI input channel for triggering.
In the Note box, specify the MIDI note that will trigger region playback. This value can be entered as a MIDI note value such as C4 or as a MIDI note number such as 60.
Notes:
If the MIDI Input Sync/Trigger command is selected while using this dialog, you can auto-complete the Channel and Note values by pressing a key on your MIDI Keyboard.
Triggers in the Regions List function differently from triggers specified in the MIDI Triggers dialog and the Playlist. When using triggers in the Playlist, Regions List, or MIDI Triggers dialog, be aware that they can interact with each other to create unexpected results. Sound Forge first looks at the MIDI Triggers, then the Regions List, and then the Playlist when determining what to do when a MIDI command is detected. If you only want to use the triggers in the Regions List, turn off all the triggers in the MIDI Triggers dialog and the Playlist.
