Selecting a sound segment is simple: just click and drag the mouse over the area you want to select. The selected area changes color. You can enlarge or shrink an existing selection by pressing the Shift key on your keyboard and clicking with your mouse to the right or left of the current selection. The selection can be extended or reduced. You can listen to the current selection by pressing the play button.
You can see what relative part of the sound file has been selected, even if the file has been zoomed-in. The current selection shows in yellow in the position bar on top of the graph window. If the file has been zoomed-in then the position bar still shows the selected segment, but it may now look like this:
The white part is the visible window, the black part is the sound that is currently not shown in the window, the yellow part is the current selection, if any.
To remove a selection click outside the graph area near the graph borders (where the scales are).
If a sound section is selected the section will play when pressing the play button and the selection will be edited when doing a copy, cut, delete or paste operation.
If you just click once inside a graph (without dragging the cursor) then only a vertical cursor line will be placed on the graph. This is the starting point for a play operation or the insertion point when you do a paste operation.
If there is neither a selection nor a cursor then the whole file will play when you press the play button and any pasted sound will be inserted at the end of the file.
