Compress/Expand Edit to Play on
Multiple Tracks and Channels
The Compress/Expand Edit to Play command
can be used on multichannel selections, and se-
lections across multiple tracks.
However, all regions are compressed or ex-
panded equally by the same percentage value,
based on Edit selection range. This ensures that
the rhythmic relationship between the different
channels or tracks is retained.
Fitting an Audio Region to an Edit
Selection
Regions can be dragged from the Audio Regions
List to fit within an Edit selection. The dragged
region is compressed or expanded to fit within
the selection. This feature uses the Time Com-
pression/Expansion plug-in to expand or com-
press the audio region.
To fit an audio region to an Edit selection:
1 With the Selector, select a time range in an au-
dio track.
2 Control-Alt-drag (Windows) or Command-
Option-drag (Macintosh) the region from the
Audio Regions List to the track with the selec-
tion. The start of the region is positioned at the
selection start, and the region is compressed or
expanded to match the length of the selection.
Fit to Selection on Multiple Tracks and
Channels
The Fit to Selection command supports drag-
ging multiple regions from the Audio Regions
List to multiple tracks, or multichannel tracks.
However, all dragged regions are compressed or
expanded equally by the same percentage value,
based on length of the region last clicked before
dragging.
