! For the audio stretching to work, make sure the Enable Stretch function is active on the clips you are working
with, see “Enable/Disable Stretch (Audio Clips)”.
! To get the best sound quality when you are stretching and quantizing audio it’s important that you have se-
lected the correct Stretch Type for the audio track, see “Selecting Stretch and Transpose Type”.
Audio clip elements inline
When a Single Take clip is open for editing inline in the Arrange View, it could look like this:

q You might have to zoom in quite a bit on the clip to get a good view of the Slices, see “Zooming in the Se-
quencer”.
• Slice Markers with handles
When a Single Take audio clip is opened inline, Reason automatically detects the transients in the sound and
marks these with vertical white lines - Slice Markers. By moving Slice Markers left or right you stretch (warp) the
audio between the nearest Slice Markers on either side, i.e. you change the timing without affecting the pitch. You
can manually add and remove Slice Markers. It is also possible to “decouple” and move the Slice Markers without
stretching the audio.
• Slices
Slices are the areas between two adjacent Slice Markers. Each slice represents a part of the audio in the clip.
• Stretch and Transpose Type selector
Here is where you can select the most suitable Stretch and Transpose Type for the audio on the track. See “Se-
lecting Stretch and Transpose Type” for more details.

Inline audio editing tools
When editing audio inline, some of the Toolbar tools have different functionality than when editing note and automa-
tion clips. There are also some additional tools that are unique to inline editing of audio.
