The Move Point Tool: Adjusting an Ending
Moving on in the track, we’ll use the Move
Point Tool to correct a phrase that starts at the
right point but ends late.
1. Adjust the zoom and scroll controls to
focus on bars 3 through 5. Play the track
and note that the end of the second
phrase (the end of the word “illusion), is
sustained too long.
2. Select the Move Point Tool and select
the range from the beginning of the last
syllable of “illusion” (at time position
4:1.80) to the beginning of the breath
before the following note (at time position
5:2.23).
3. Use the Move Point Tool to select the point
to be moved. In this case we want to move
the very end of the phrase while leaving
the beginning in place. Using the envelope
display as reference, place the cursor over
the very end of the note (at time position
5:2.10). Click and drag to move the end
point back to the beginning of measure 5.
Your display should now look like this:
Play back your track and note that once again
the two vocal parts are now perfectly in sync.
The Move Point Tool: Adjusting an
Internal Syllable
For our final example, we’ll use the Move Point
Tool to correct a syllable in the middle of a
word.
1. Adjust the zoom and scroll controls to
focus on bars 7 through 9. Play the track
and note that the start of the last syllable
in the final word of the track (“delusion”),
starts slightly too early.
2. Select the Move Point Tool and select the
range from the beginning of the word
“delusion” (at time position 7:4.63) to a
beat past the end of the track (at time
position 9:2.0).
3. In this case we want to move the start of
the syllable while leaving the beginning
and end of the selected word in place.
Using the envelope display as reference,
place the cursor over the beginning of the
last syllable (at time position 8:1.73). Click
and drag to move the end point to the
right to time position 8:2.0.
Your display should now look like this:
Play back your track and note that once again
the two vocal parts are now in sync.
You’ve now completely corrected the timing
of the track. If you like, click the Time Control
Enable button to A/B the original and time
shifted versions to remind yourself how far
you’ve come.
