AudioWarp Quantizing Multiple Audio Tracks (Cubase Only)
Proceed as follows:
1. Create an edit group for the audio tracks that you want to quantize.
2. In the Sample Editor, create hitpoints for at least one of the audio tracks that you
want to quantize, and fine-tune the hitpoint detection result with the Threshold
slider.
3. Open the Quantize Panel.
4. Set up the parameters in the “Slice Rules” section and click the Slice button.
5. Set up the parameters in the Quantize section and click the Quantize button.
6. Set up the parameters in the Crossfades section and click the Crossfade button to
correct for overlaps or gaps in the quantized audio.
AudioWarp Quantizing Multiple Audio Tracks (Cubase Only)
Instead of slicing the audio events and using the slices for quantizing, you can use
warp markers for quantizing multiple audio tracks. Note that AudioWarp quantizing
does not maintain phase coherence.
To quantize multiple audio tracks using the AudioWarp quantize function, proceed as
follows:
1. Create an edit group for the audio tracks that you want to quantize.
2. In the Sample Editor, create hitpoints for at least one of the audio tracks that you
want to quantize, and fine-tune the hitpoint detection result with the Threshold
slider.
3. Open the Quantize Panel, activate the “AudioWarp Quantize” button, and set up
the parameters in the “Warp Marker Creation Rules” section.
4. Click the Create button.
5. Set up the other parameters on the Quantize Panel, and click the Quantize button.
AudioWarp quantizing is applied to all tracks in the edit group.
The Quantize Panel
The Quantize Panel provides further parameters for defining how to quantize audio or
MIDI. These parameters allow you to set up a more sophisticated quantization.
Using the Quantize Panel, you can quantize audio or MIDI to the grid or to a groove.
Depending on what method you choose, different parameters are shown on the
Quantize Panel. There is also a set of common settings.
You can open the Quantize Panel by clicking the corresponding button on the toolbar
or by opening the Edit menu and selecting “Quantize Panel”.
