Editing using the Clipboard

How to edit using the clipboard

The clipboard concept provides a common way of editing documents. It is often referred to as Copy and Pasting.

Copy and Paste

You can edit your recordings by copying a selected region to the Acoustica clipboard using the Copy command from the Edit menu, or pressing Ctrl/⌘ + C. Once a region is copied, paste the region into another location using the Paste command in the Edit menu or by pressing Ctrl/⌘ + V). The Paste Insert command is equivalent to the normal paste command common in most Windows/Mac applications.

Acoustica offers two additional ways of pasting:

  • Overwrite paste (or press Ctrl/⌘ + Alt + V), which substitutes a selected region with the content of the clipboard.

  • Mix paste (or press Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + V), which mixes the selected region with the content of the clipboard.

The Cut command

The Cut command copies the selected region to the clipboard before deleting it from the source.

Deleting parts of a recording

For the purpose of deleting parts of the recording, use one of the following two commands:

  • Delete (or press Delete), which deletes the selected region

  • Crop (or press Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + C), which deletes everything but the selected region.
