CHP. 7 USING MARKERS, REGIONS, AND THE PLAYLIST/CUTLIST
99
Using regions
Regions identify ranges of time and provide a way to subdivide an audio file. A region is defined as the area
between two region tags. Regions can function as semi-permanent time selections that can be saved with the
file. You can add regions to the playlist and use regions to create new files.
Inserting regions
Sound Forge offers multiple methods of inserting regions including a menu command, drag-and-drop, a time
ruler shortcut, and a keyboard shortcut. The following sections briefly describe the methods of creating
regions. To work through these procedures, use the Fill.pca file. This file is located in the Sound Forge folder.
