Properties Inspector overview
Properties section
• Track Name. Assign a name to the selected track.
AudioSnap section (audio tracks only)
• Online Render. Specify the algorithm to use during real-time playback. For more information
about render modes, see “Algorithms and rendering” on page 646. The options are as follows:
• From Global. This uses the algorithm listed in the Online field in Edit > Preferences >
Project - AudioSnap.
• Groove clip. Works faster than Percussion render mode, using less processing power.
• Percussion. Works better than the Groove Clip render mode on percussive material,
especially if the stretching is by more than a few beats per minute.
• Offline Render. This drop-down menu lets you choose the algorithm that is used when you
export or freeze stretched audio. The choices in the drop-down menu are as follows:
• From Global. This uses the algorithm listed in the Offline Rendering field in Edit >
Preferences > Project - AudioSnap.
• Radius Mix. Better for clips containing polyphonic, stereo data.
• Radius Mix Advanced. Similar to Radius Mix, but exposes a Smoothing slider that adjust
how much detail to preserve.
• Radius Solo. Better for clips containing monophonic, solo instruments.
• Radius Solo (Bass). Better for clips containing solo bass instruments.
• Radius Solo (Vocal). Better for clips containing solo vocals.
• Same as Online. Uses the same choice as the Online field.
Automation section
• Time Base. Choose one of the two options in this section to control what happens to
automation when you change the tempo:
• Musical (M:B:T). If the track is set to the Musical time base, the automation’s M:B:T position
stays constant, and its absolute position shifts.
• Absolute. If the track is set to the Absolute time base, its absolute position stays constant,
and its M:B:T position shifts.
• Write Mode (Producer and Studio only). This drop-down menu lets you choose the
automation write mode:
• Touch. Touch mode overwrites any existing automation data for the currently armed
parameter only when the parameter is moved with the mouse or a MIDI controller. Automation
writing stops when the parameter is released, and the parameter returns to any previously
automated position.
Note: The Online render mode is for preview purposes only during playback. The final audio
quality will be greatly improved after the Offline render mode is applied during mixdown/export.
