Selecting and Editing Events
3. Enter the desired end time in the New Thru box. Click Format to switch
between MBT and SMPTE format.
4. Choose one of the following:
• Tempo Map–Choose this option if you want the tempo to change
but not the duration of notes and events. For example, if your clip
contains quarter notes, and you want those notes to stay quarter
notes even though the elapsed time of the clip changes, choose
Tempo Map. SONAR alters the tempo but not the events in the
track.
• Event Times–Choose this option if you want the tempo(s) to remain
unchanged while note durations and event start times change.
Important note: This option is unavailable if your selected data
includes any Groove clips.
5. If you want to stretch selected audio clips, check the Stretch Audio box.
The following options become available:
• Type (disabled unless Stretch Audio is checked)—choose options
based on the source material: single voice or instrument versus a
group of instruments (ensemble or polyphonic), and how long you
want to wait for processing to finish: better quality can take a long
time if you're processing several tracks.
• Formant Scaling (disabled unless Stretch Audio is checked)—the
possible values range from -2.000 to 2.000 octaves. Formants give
a voice its characteristic sound. If you find that changing the length
of your audio changes the timbre too much, you can raise or lower
the formant to try and maintain the characteristics of the sound
6. Click OK when you are done.
