AUDIO EDITING IN THE SEQUENCER

Turning Comp clips into Single Take clips
After you have comped your clip in the Comp Editor you might want to continue working with it inline, to stretch indi-
vidual slices, quantize the audio, etc. To be able to open the Comp clip for inline editing you need to turn the clip into
a Single Take clip. Here is how:
1. In the Comp Editor, click the “Bounce” button.
This will render a bounced recording of your comped audio on a new Comp Row. The new Comp Row will be au-
tomatically selected, which means the clip has now become a Single Take clip.
2. Press [Return] twice to close the Comp Editor and open the clip inline, for slice editing.
See “Editing audio inline”.
Changing the tempo and transposition of the audio
Selecting Stretch and Transpose Type
When you are stretching, transposing and/or changing the tempo of the audio it’s important that the Stretch and
Transpose Type on the corresponding Audio Track is set according to the type of audio that’s on the track. Otherwise,
the sonic result might not be what you’d expect. Stretch Type can be selected as follows:
D Select the track in the Track List, then select the desired Stretch and Transpose Type from the Edit menu or
context menu.
or:
D Select stretch type by clicking the Stretch Type selector in the Track List when the clip is open for editing inline:
Selecting Stretch and Transpose Type for the Audio Track in the Track List
• For polyphonic material, select “Allround”.
The formants are transposed along with the audio.
• For monophonic material select “Melody”.
The formants are transposed along with the audio.
• For vocal select “Vocal”.
The formants are preserved and are not transposed along with the audio. This will keep the original character of
the vocal and will only affect the pitch.
Tempo scaling Clips
Besides the automatic time stretching function applied when you change the Tempo in the main sequencer, there is
a Scale Tempo function which can be applied to scale the tempo of one or several clips. The Scale Tempo function
works in the same way for audio clips, note clips and parameter automation clips. However, it might be interesting to
see what happens when you tempo scale an audio clip.
