Chapter 4: Advanced Editing Features 27
TCE (Time Compression and
Expansion) Edit To Timeline
Selection
When the Edit and Timeline selections are un-
linked, you can compress or expand an audio se-
lection to fit the Timeline selection. On audio
tracks, TCE Edit to Timeline Selection uses the TCE
AudioSuite
™
Plug-In selected in the Processing
preferences. On Elastic Audio–enabled tracks,
TCE Edit To Timeline Selection uses the track’s se-
lected Elastic Audio plug-in.
To fit an Edit selection to the Timeline:
1 Deselect Options > Link Timeline and Edit Selec-
tion.
2 With the Selector tool, select the audio mate-
rial to be compressed or expanded.
3 In any Timebase ruler, select the time range
where you want to fit the audio material.
4 Choose Edit > TCE Edit to Timeline Selection.
The Edit selection is compressed or expanded to
the length of the Timeline selection.
TCE Edit to Timeline Selection on
Multiple Tracks and Channels
The TCE Edit to Timeline command can be used
on multichannel selections, and selections
across multiple tracks. All regions are com-
pressed or expanded equally by the same per-
centage value, based on Edit selection range.
This ensures that the rhythmic relationship be-
tween the different channels or tracks is main-
tained.
Fitting an Audio Region to an Edit
Selection
Regions can be dragged from the Region List to
fit within an Edit selection. The dragged region
is compressed or expanded to fit within the se-
lection. On audio tracks, fitting an audio region
to the Edit selection uses the TCE AudioSuite
Plug-In selected in the Processing preferences.
On Elastic Audio–enabled tracks, it uses the
track’s selected Elastic Audio plug-in.
To fit an audio region to an Edit selection:
1 With the Selector tool, make an Edit selection
in an audio track.
2 Control-Alt-drag (Windows) or Command-
Option-drag (Mac) the region from the Region
List to the track with the selection. The start of
the region is positioned at the selection start,
and the region is compressed or expanded to
match the length of the selection.
Fit to Selection on Multiple Tracks and
Channels
The Fit to Selection command supports dragging
multiple regions from the Region List to multi-
ple tracks, or multichannel tracks.
However, all dragged regions are compressed or
expanded equally by the same percentage value,
based on length of the region last clicked before
dragging.
