Subject:Pasting Posted by: MBSDAR Date:11/19/2008 10:54:47 AM I am doing some experiments that involve summing channels from 4 to 2. I am suming 1&3 and 2&4. I expected this to be easy using channel converter but seem stymied. My first attempt was to do it as I would expect. Lock the channels I am not working with, select the two I want to sum, and make it happen. It deleted the locked channels. Obviously not "locked" in the normal sense this is used in most software. Without going through the details, I've tried many ways and nothing seems to perform this simple task. I cannot seem to find a way to start with either one track and add another with different information or replace the file in one without affecting the other. I just need to sum 1&3, 2&4, and lose the empty 3&4 tracks after the operation. Dave
Subject:RE: Pasting Reply by: musicvid10 Date:11/19/2008 2:11:49 PM Open two windows in SF, one for tracks 1 and 2, the other for tracks 3 and 4. Copy track 3 and paste mix it to track 1. Copy track 4 and paste mix it to track 2. Close tracks 3 and 4. Or have I missed something in your workflow that makes this problematic? Message last edited on11/19/2008 2:23:39 PM bymusicvid10.
Subject:RE: Pasting Reply by: MBSDAR Date:11/19/2008 4:01:59 PM I am apparently not familiar with "paste mix." Is it a pure summing process? I assume you are not referring to the channel converter function. Also, the base file is a 4 channel file. Dave Message last edited on11/19/2008 4:03:48 PM byMBSDAR.

If you can open a four channel file in Sound Forge, then you have version 9. Wouldn't you open your 4 ch file in SF, create a new stereo window, copy and paste tracks 1 & 3, then copy and paste mix tracks 2 & 4? Seems straightforward to me, but again I may be missing something . . .
