You can move events horizontally along the timeline by dragging them when in event-editing mode.
Choose Edit > Mode > Event (or click the Event Mode button in an editor's playbar) to enable event-editing mode.
Moving an event past the end of the current file inserts time into the editor. You must remove any unwanted silence when you are finished editing the file.
When dragging events vertically across channels, you are limited to the number of channels in the current file. You cannot drag an event past the top or bottom channel in a data window to create more channels in the file.
Events can cross channel boundaries, but overlapping events must lie on the same channels. Sound Forge Pro automatically splits or merges channels as you move events.
You can hold Command while dragging events to paste and mix them:
Hold Command while dragging an event to move it within an editor. The paste cursor is displayed, and a vertical line is displayed to show you where the paste will occur:
Hold Command while dragging an event to another editor to paste the event to that editor (hover over a tab in the target editor to bring it to the foreground before dropping it).
Hold Command while dragging an event to an empty area in an editor's tab area to create a new file using the event.
If you release Command after you start dragging the event, the event is mixed where you drop it. The mix cursor is displayed, and a shaded selection box is displayed to show you where the mix will occur:
Regions, markers, and envelope points are moved with an event. To turn this feature off, turn off Options > Lock to Selection > Markers/Regions and Envelope Points.
If you want to ripple the contents of the editor when pasting events, choose Options > Event > Auto Ripple. For more information, see "Auto Ripple Events."
