Clipboard Like many other windows-based applications, DECsound includes a clipboard, which is a temporary (invisible) storage area. When you cut or copy part of a DECsound recording, DECsound stores the selected part of the recording in the clipboard. When you choose Paste from the Edit menu, DECsound pastes the contents of the clipboard into the recording. The clipboard stores only the most recently cut or copied part of a recording. When you cut or copy part of a recording to the clipboard, the recording overwrites the current contents of the clipboard. Each DECsound session uses a separate clipboard; therefore, you cannot use the Edit menu to cut and paste between two DECsound sessions. If you need to cut and paste between two DECsound sessions, you can do so using the mouse, as follows: 1. Choose Display Energy or Display Samples from the View menu in both DECsound sessions to display the waveforms. 2. Drag MB1 across the waveform to select the part of the recording you want to cut from the first DECsound session. 3. Position the pointer at the spot in the second waveform where you want to insert the part of the recording. 4. Click MB2 to paste this recording to the second DECsound session.
