Parameter Description
Gain The Gain controls set the input level, in tenths of a decibel. Set the input level so that the
plug-in can adequately handle amplitude peaks in the selection. Dragging the slider to the
right increases gain, and dragging the slider to the left decreases gain.
Coarse and Fine Adjust the pitch by dragging either of the two faders, or by typing values in the Coarse and
Fine text boxes. The Coarse slider transposes in semitones (half steps); the Fine slider
transposes in cents (hundredths of a semitone).
Ratio The Ratio slider lets you set the amount of transposition (pitch change). Dragging the slider
to the right raises the pitch of the processed file, and dragging the slider to the left decreases
its pitch. Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Command key (Macintosh) when you
drag the slider to fine-adjust.

Time Correction Click the Time Correction check box to enable or disable time correction.

You can deselect the Time Correction check box if you use the Create New
Master Clips feature of the AudioSuite plug-ins. However, you must select the
Time Correction check box when you apply AudioSuite plug-ins to audio clips in
the Timeline.
If the Time Correction check box is deselected, it has the effect of “permanently
varispeeding” your audio file. Like working with tape, the file’s duration is compressed or
extended according to the settings of the Coarse and Fine controls. Playback speed increases
proportionally as the sound file is transposed up in pitch and decreases proportionally as it is
transposed down in pitch, just like a tape recorder that is varispeeding.
Altering a file in this way has little detrimental effect on the fidelity of audio files, whereas
time correction can affect fidelity in a pronounced way.
