Sound Forge Pro note Slipping and Trimming EventsEvents do not loop and cannot exceed the start, end, or channels of the underlying media. For example, you cannot trim an event past its right edge to insert silence.

Hold Alt while dragging an event. The cursor is displayed as a Sound Forge Pro  Slipping and Trimming Events.

As you drag the event, the contents of the event shift, but the event will not move. You can use this technique when you want to maintain an event’s length and position, but have the event play a different section of the source media file.

Sound Forge Pro tip Slipping and Trimming EventsTips:

  • Hold Alt+Shift while dragging any portion of an event to slip-trim the right edge. The left edge of the event will remain fixed on the timeline, and the media is slipped past the left edge of the event. This slip mode is useful when you want to slip an event without changing its last frame.

  • Holding the Shift key temporarily overrides snapping if it is enabled. Release the Shift key while dragging to snap the event to available snap points.
