Clipboard
Like many other windows-based applications, DECsound
includes a clipboard, which is a temporary (invisible) storage
area. When you cut or copy part of a DECsound recording,
DECsound stores the selected part of the recording in the
clipboard. When you choose Paste from the Edit menu,
DECsound pastes the contents of the clipboard into the
recording.
The clipboard stores only the most recently cut or copied part
of a recording. When you cut or copy part of a recording to
the clipboard, the recording overwrites the current contents
of the clipboard.
Each DECsound session uses a separate clipboard; therefore,
you cannot use the Edit menu to cut and paste between two
DECsound sessions. If you need to cut and paste between two
DECsound sessions, you can do so using the mouse, as follows:
1. Choose Display Energy or Display Samples from the
View menu in both DECsound sessions to display the
waveforms.
2. Drag MB1 across the waveform to select the part of
the recording you want to cut from the first DECsound
session.
3. Position the pointer at the spot in the second waveform
where you want to insert the part of the recording.
4. Click MB2 to paste this recording to the second
DECsound session.
