AUDIO EDITING IN THE SEQUENCER

6. Adjust the song tempo back to the original BPM.
As you adjust the song tempo, the tempo of the audio recording will follow along accordingly - without affecting
the original pitch of the recording. This is done by stretching the audio. Record does this automatically in two par-
allel steps: a real-time “preview” stretch so that you can instantly hear the result of your tempo changes, then a
high quality stretch “in the background” to further improve the sonic results. As soon as high quality stretch is in
progress, the “Calc” indicator on the Transport Panel shows a progress bar:
The CALC progress bar appears when Record performs high quality stretching of audio
Since the high quality stretch is performed in the background, you can still continue to work with your song without
any interruption. When the high quality stretch data has been calculated, the Calc indicator goes out and the high
quality audio data will be heard on playback.
Moving a snare hit
Let’s say you have recorded live drums on a couple of audio tracks. The tempo is OK throughout the song, but there
was a single snare hit that came a little late. In this situation you would only need to move this single snare hit to get
the drums right. The following example shows how to do this:
1. Open the clip which contains the “off beat” snare hit.
Zoom in so you can see the individual snare hits clearly. (In between the “main” snare hits, there are some ghost
notes as well.)
The first and third snare hits are right on the beat whereas the second hit is a little late
2. Switch to Comp Mode and select the Razor Tool.
