Changing the Timing of a Recording
When you record a performance, there may be problems you’d like to
correct. For example, the note timing may not have been as accurate as
you would like. Or, you may have recorded without using a metronome and
strayed from the tempo in one direction or another.
SONAR has two types of commands that you can use to modify the timing
of a clip. The Quantize commands alter the timing of the notes in your
recording so that they fit a time grid.
The grid can have fixed time intervals or intervals that are based on some
existing note pattern. The Fit to Improvisation command, on the other
hand, sets up a series of tempos that fit the material you have recorded.
Here’s a summary of when to use each type of command:
These two types of commands are discussed in the following topics.
