Tip: If you want the MIDI notes to align perfectly with the audio data, press SHIFT+G to move the
Now time to the beginning of the selected audio clip.
Note: All the new MIDI notes have the same pitch, and the tails of the preceding notes reach all
the way to the following notes, so you can’t see the actual rhythm. You can easily shorten the
duration of each note event in order to clearly see each note event. To do so, click Process >
Length to open the Length dialog. In the Length dialog, disable the Start Times check box,
enable the Duration check box, and type 50 in the Percent field. Click OK to close the dialog.
Assign the MIDI track’s Edit Filter to Notes and you will be able to see the rhythm if you zoom in.
