===Editing soundfiles with SND===

To edit soundfiles using SND, good advice is to use 'emacs-like' keyboard combinations (see below), and then try them on a SND listener window. To make things easier start with a short (3 secs) mono (one-channel) soundfile. 


:: '''c-x''' means control-x or the keyboard combination ''<ctrl>-<x>''  
::  '''M-x'''  means meta-x and at CCRMA is the keyboard combination ''<esc>-<x>''


If you have a soundfile in the active window try the following combinations and watch the cursor in the displayed soundfile active window. If you don't have a soundfile you can use the open command in the file pull-down menu of SND.
