Warping audio
3. On the AudioWarp tab, select a suitable grid resolution from the Resolution pop-
up menu.
This defines the positions that the swing is applied to. For example, if you select
1/2, the swing is applied in steps of half notes.
4. Move the Swing fader to the right to offset every second position in the grid.
This creates a swing or shuffle feel.
Depending on how far you move the fader to the right and what grid resolution you
chose, this function offers everything from half-note swing to 64th-note swing.
Free Warp
The Free Warp tool allows you to change the timing of individual positions in the audio
material. The Free Warp tool snaps to hitpoint positions and/or warp markers.
The Free Warp tool creates warp markers. Warp markers are a kind of marker or
anchor that can be attached to musically relevant time positions in an audio event, for
example, the first beat of every bar. Warp markers can be dragged to the
corresponding time positions in the project, and the audio will be stretched
accordingly.
Warp markers are typically used for creative tempo editing or further tweaking after
having activated Musical Mode.
Ö Warp markers can also be created from hitpoints, see “Create Warp Markers” on
page 352.
!
When you activate or deactivate Musical Mode or select a different Resolution value,
all your warp modifications are lost.
