The Move Region tool is designed for moving
notes, words, or phrases while preserving the
timing of the moved element. As with the
Move Point tool, you first select a range of
audio and then select the region within that
selection that you want to move and move it
forward or back in time, again compressing
and expanding the audio around it.
Both tools are context sensitive. That is, they
change function (from selection to moving,
for example) depending on what lies beneath
them on the screen. As a result, the time
manipulation process becomes smooth and
intuitive, never breaking your creative flow
with the need to switch tools or remember
some command key to temporarily change
function.
The time functions also have their own Undo/
Redo controls independent of the pitch
correction controls and an Enable button that
allows you to instantly switch between your
original audio and your time shifted audio.
Enhanced Amplitude Envelope Display
To help you visualize the aects of your
edits, whenever time control is enabled the
Amplitude Envelope Display will display both
the original audio (in the lower portion of
the display) and the time-shifted audio (in
the upper portion). Additionally, the display’s
horizontal axis will turn red to indicate the
ranges of audio that have been time-tracked,
so you will always know which ranges are
currently available for time editing.
Non-destructive Editing
Since Auto-Tune 8 works on a copy of your
audio, time editing always leaves your original
audio intact. At any point you can simply turn
o the Time Control Enable button to instantly
return to your track’s original timing.
