Nolan, out of my limited Sound Forge 8 experience, just up-arrow or down-arrow changes the zoom rate for how much the right or left arrows move the cursor. If you still have trouble, perhaps marking the beginning of the portion to be deleted with the letter I, and the end with the letter O might work for you in making the selection. The I and the O are for marking in and out, and seem to have replaced the left and right brackets that worked in earlier versions of SF.
Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nolan Crabb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 6:12 AM Subject: Sound Forge 8 and Precise Editing I've been using Sound Forge 8 for about two months now, and I'm struggling with an editing issue I hope someone here can help me solve. I can't get it to select very small amounts of data when I do a Shift+Right or Shift+Left arrow. I can get it to move in tiny increments when I just do a left or right arrow to move through the file, but I want to be able to edit out single syllables and other tiny points in an audio file. I've done a series of Shift+Up arrows to decrease the amount of the selection, but nothing I do seems to help. What frustrates me most is that the setting is almost certainly right in front of me, staring at me larger than life, so to speak. But I can't figure it out to save me. I desperately need to do precise edits with this program the way I could with Sound Forge 5. I'm working on another audio Christmas project for my kids this year, and I need to edit the job with real precision. Please, any Sound Forge users out there with any ideas or even speculation, chime in. And if this is such a narrow topic that it doesn't help the majority on the list, please don't hesitate to reply privately. I've spent hours in the preferences menu trying to figure out what would give me the option of very small incremental selections with Shift+Right Arrow and such, and it's not jumping out at me at all.
