To Copy an Audio Rhythm as MIDI
1. Select the audio clip whose rhythm you want to copy, and make sure
AudioSnap is enabled.
2. Do any necessary quantizing, and disable any markers that you don’t
want to produce notes in the MIDI clip.
3. In the AudioSnap palette, click the Options button, which opens the
AudioSnap Options dialog.
4. In the MIDI Extraction section, choose the MIDI note that you want the
extracted rhythm to use.
5. Choose a Note Velocities option: either accept the extrapolated
velocities in the audio clip (the Vary With Pulse Level option), or set a
constant velocity for the notes in the Set All To Same Value field, and
click OK.
6. In the AudioSnap palette, click the Extract Groove button, which
displays the Copy As MIDI Notes button.
7. Click the Copy As MIDI Notes button. This copies the audio rhythm to
the Clipboard as a MIDI clip, with the same pitch assigned to each note.
Now you can paste the Clipboard contents into the Clips pane, Piano Roll
view, or Staff view.
Slip-stretching Audio Clips
Slip-stretching is a quick, easy way to stretch a single audio clip.
To Slip-stretch an Audio Clip
1. Set the Snap to Grid to an appropriate setting (turn it off if you don’t
need it, or set a snap value if you do).
2. Hold down the Ctrl key, and drag the right or left end of the clip to the
length that you want.
The clip stretches, and displays a percentage value in the lower right corner
to show how much stretching has occurred.
