Fixing timing problems in audio clips

Figure 206. The Merge and Lock Markers command has copied the same transient markers to all three drum
tracks.
The drum tracks are now ready to be edited.
We want to keep the feel of the piano track, so our goal is align the drum tracks with the piano track,
while preserving the phase relationship between the three drum tracks.
When editing multiple transients to adjust the timing of a performance, often times you need to
speed up or slow down a section rather than just move an entire section later or earlier. In this
example, the drummer was speeding up through the drum fill and then hits next downbeat too early.
To fix this, you need to proportionally drag the drum transients so they are better aligned with the
piano track.
10. Using the Smart tool, lasso select all transient markers from the first hit through the third hit,
across all drum tracks.
11. Hold down the CTRL key and drag any selected drum transient marker until the third drum hit is
aligned with the third piano hits.
The selected transients are stretched proportionally. The first and last drum and piano hits are
now aligned. The effect of this edit is that the drummer no longer rushes through the fill and he
lands on the downbeat much closer with the piano.
