Extending and Reducing the Selection

You can resize a selection range in the wave window or the montage window.

There are several ways to extend/reduce the selection:

Using Mouse and Key Commands

  • To extend the selection, select a range, Shift-click outside the selection range, and drag to the left/right. You can also click and drag the edges of the selection range to the left/right.

  • To extend the selection to the previous/next boundary (marker or start/end of file), press Shift and double-click the non-selected area between the boundaries.

Using Only Key Commands

  • To move the start or end of a selection in the wave window to the left or right, hold down Shift and press the Left Arrow/Right Arrow. To move it in bigger steps, hold down Shift and press Page Up or Page Down.

  • To extend a selection to the previous or next boundary in the wave window (marker or start/end of the audio file), hold down Ctrl/Cmd-Shift and press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow.
