Sections of audio can be blended to create a composite file from different
audio clips. For example, you can record a voice-over segment, then record 
a separate musical segment. Using the Mix Paste command these clips can be
blended together to create an audio track for a multimedia presentation or 
a radio commercial:

  1. With two WAV files open, Cut or Copy the data from file 'A' into the
     clipboard. You can hear this clip by selecting Play Clipboard from the
     Edit menu.

  2. Now, in file 'B', click the location where you want to paste the data 
     from the clipboard.

  3. Click the Mix Paste button to combine the clipboard data from file 'A' 
     with data from file 'B' at the paste point.

  4. Click the Play button to hear the results. If one of the files is too 
     loud, or if clipping occurs as a result of the merge, you can undo the
     operation. Then do a Scale transform on one or both of the clips to 
     lower the level.

   

One can also use Mix Paste to paste over audio, crossfading into and out of
the pasted audio, for example to insert or replace a song in a party mix, or
to seamlessly join two songs together:

  1. With two WAV files open, Cut or Copy the data from file 'A' into the
     clipboard. You can hear this clip by clicking on the Play Clipboard 
     button.

  2. Now, in file 'B', highlight the area where you wish to paste the audio 
     from the clipboard. To join two songs, click the location where you wish
     the new song to begin.

  3. Click the Mix Paste button to display the Mix Paste dialog, and edit the
     crossfade times if desired. Then Press OK to combine the clipboard data
     from file 'A' with data from file 'B'.

  4. Click the Play button to hear the results. If one of the files is too 
     loud, or if clipping occurs as a result of the merge, you can undo the
     operation. Then do a Scale transform on one or both of the clips to lower
     the level.
