Grrr. Dragging and dropping and copy and pasting.

So I just don't get it. I'm trying to select a portion of a track and I've tried about 100 times holding down alt and dragging my mouse over it. It never works. Instead it just suddenly goes to the end of the wav.

And then after that I finally decided I would copy the entire wav and trim the beginning and end to get the part I want out of it, then just drag and drop it where I want it.

Nope, doesn't work either. I position my mouse until the rectangle appears, left click it and drag and it goes nowhere.

Why aren't either of these working for me? It's driving me crazy!

I'm using Sonar 3.1.1., but it wasn't working with 3.1 either.

The triangle means that you can now apply fade out/in to the clip, meaning that it won't be slip-edited. What you need to do is position your mouse until you have a square (with an arrow) at the end.

I don't get why you can't select a portion of a clip and copy that. I do this all the time. Maybe it would help if you turned of the Snap (just hit M on your keyboard).

I think you need to zoom in more. I'm talkin about the horizontal zoom. The more you zoom in the more you can paste at a very precise location.
