Clip Properties dialog—Audio Stretching
You have two different (and independent) ways to stretch clips: by using either Groove clips or
AudioSnap. Groove Clip markers are typically placed at a zero-crossing point before a transient;
AudioSnap markers are placed directly on a transient. The AudioSnap feature can extract tempo
from a clip. Groove Clip stretching is preferred for more extreme stretching. There are numerous
other differences between the two features (see Working Groove Clip audio, and AudioSnap).
