Aligning Project Tempo to a Clip
an audio clip is not already synchronized to your current project tempo(s),
the Auto Stretch option does no good.
To Align Clips to New Tempo Changes
1. Select all the audio clips in your project (they must already be
synchronized with the project tempo). You can select all audio clips by
using the Edit-Select All command if there are only audio clips in your
project, or you can select them individually by Ctrl-clicking each one.
2. Enable AudioSnap on one of the selected clips (right-click a selected
clip and choose AudioSnap-AudioSnap Enable from the popup
menu). This enables AudioSnap on all selected audio clips.
3. In the AudioSnap palette, enable the Auto Stretch button .
The clips will now automatically follow any future tempo changes you add to
your project, provided that the change in tempo does not force a transient
beyond its stretch limits.
The preceding procedure works on single or multiple audio clips. If you only
have one audio clip that you want to follow tempo changes, you can also
use the Clip Properties dialog:
1. Right-click an audio clip and choose Clip Properties from the popup
menu to open the Clip Properties dialog.
2. On the Audio Stretching tab, in the AudioSnap section, make sure that
the Enable AudioSnap check box is enabled, and then enable the Auto
Stretch (Follow Tempo) check box.
3. Click OK.
Aligning Project Tempo to a Clip
Sometimes you may want to align the tempo to a clip or clips, instead of the
other way around. There are two AudioSnap commands that will help
accomplish this: the Extract Timing command, and the Set Measure/Beat
At Now command.
To Set Tempo with the Extract Timing Command
1. Select the AudioSnap-enabled clip that you want to use to establish
your project tempo, and open the AudioSnap palette.
2. Select the Align Time Ruler button; this displays the Set Measure/Beat
at Now button, and the Extract Timing button.
