Wave editor's clipboard (Ghost) CTRL-C, CTRL-V

The wave editor's paste function allows you to hear and see the result before the clipboard's content is really mixed upon your wave file. If you copy a selection (by inverting a part of the wave with the mouse) into the clippboard and paste it, you'll see just a ghost of it above the underlying wave.

Only if you now press paste a second time, it is overdupped at that position. So you can move it and probably press play before you decide to lay it down by the second paste button klick.

If you decide not to paste the ghost the next time, press ESC to remove it from screen again. But the copy buffer will still contain your filled data and its content will appear again as ghost if you press paste only.

Touch and stretch the ghost's edges : change volume or pitch ! If you want fine adjustment of the ghost's volume factor or pitch you can change the copy buffer properties in the Set Wave Info dialog. Just click .

There you can enter the exact values as floating point values.

Also, you can decide there to paste the ghost by overdup (mix-) mode or by insert mode. By insert mode right handed wave data will me moved more right, so that there is enough space to take your ghost at the insert position, without touching the rest of your wave file. Just mark the insert check box, if you want. Don't forget to press the paste button a second time now, for starting MIDI Locator to paste...
