that, if the Follow Project Pitch option is checked, the clip follows the project’s pitch, so any
transposition changes you make using this option are changes to the project pitch, not the clip
pitch.
An example: The project key is C. The clip key is D. If the Follow Project Pitch option is
checked, the clip is transposed down by two semitones. A value entered into the Pitch
(semitone) field adjusts the pitch from C. If you enter -1 the pitch would be transposed down by
one additional semitone to B.
Another example: The clip pitch is E. The desired clip pitch is D. If the Follow Project Pitch
option is not checked, and a value of -2 is entered in the Pitch (semitones) field, the clip is
transposed down two semitones to D from the original pitch of E.
• Fine Pitch (cents) [audio clips only]. The Fine Pitch (cents) field allows you to make tuning
adjustments or to transpose the pitch of a clip up to 50 cents. There are 100 cents in one
semitone. A Fine Pitch setting of 1 adjusts the pitch up one hundredth of a semitone. The Fine
Pitch option can “fine tune” a slightly out of tune clip so that it is in pitch with the remaining clips in
a project.

• Enable AudioSnap. Enabling this check box enables the clip’s AudioSnap feature, which
makes the following options available:
• Show Transients. Enabling this check box displays the clip’s transients.
• Add Transients to Pool. Enabling this check box displays vertical grid lines at the
beginning of each of the clip’s transients, extending vertically across the Clips pane.

follow any project tempo changes.
• Enable Time Stretching. This check box is unavailable if the Auto Stretch (Follow Tempo)
check box is enabled, but is available whether or not the clip is AudioSnap-enabled. You can use
this check box and related fields to stretch the clip by either a percentage amount , or to a new

update automatically.
• Stretch Amount (%). Choose by what percentage you want to stretch the clip.
• New Duration. Choose what duration you want to stretch the clip to.
