Process-Fade Selected Clips
The Process-Fade Selected Clips command opens the Fade Selected
Clips dialog, which allows you to create or edit fades on selected clips.
For more information, see Fades and Crossfades.
Process-Fit to Time
Process-Fit to Time stretches or shrinks the selection so that it ends at a
specific time, expressed in either measure:beat:tick (MBT) or
hours:minutes:seconds:frames (SMPTE) format. This command gives you
a choice of modifying the events or modifying the underlying tempo. This is
useful when you want to alter a portion of a project to have an exact length.
The start time of the selection does not change, but the end time is altered
as necessary to fit the required time interval.
Audio can be stretched or condensed up to a factor of 4 (e.g., it can be
shrunk to as little as 25 percent of its original length, or expanded to as
much as 400 percent of its original length).
For more information, see To Stretch or Shrink to a Specific Length.
Stretching and Shrinking Events.
Process-Fit Improvisation
SONAR lets you record music from a MIDI controller without requiring that
you use a fixed tempo. But if you record without using a metronome, you
are very likely to end up with a recording that does not fit onto a fixed tempo
grid.
The Process-Fit Improvisation command lets you take a recording and
create a tempo map (with measure and beat boundaries) that fits what you
played. Your performance is not changed in any way, even thought the note
start times and durations are adjusted to fit the new tempo map.
To use this command, you must record a "reference track" containing a
single clip that matches your original track or tracks, but has only a single
note on each beat boundary. You should make sure that the reference track
has one event for every single beat, with no extra beats or missing beats.
The first beat of the reference track should be at 1:01:000. You can use any
editing command to adjust the reference track.
