AUDIO EDITING IN THE SEQUENCER
193
Selecting a Stretch and Transpose Type from the sub-menu for a Comp Clip will change the stretch and trans-
pose type for all active Comp Rows in the clip.
If there are Slice/Pitch Edits done to any of these Comp Rows (and these edits cannot be preserved in the new
Stretch Type), there will be an alert asking if you want to bounce the clip to a new recording.
• 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 material 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. “Vocal” is also the default Stretch and Transpose Type for editing audio in
Pitch Edit mode, see “Editing audio in Pitch Edit mode”.
! For the Stretch and Transpose function to be active, make sure that you have selected Enable Stretch from the
clip context menu!
Clip Types
An audio clip can be either a Single Take clip or a Comp clip:
• A Single Take clip is set to play back only a single Take (Comp Row) throughout the audio clip.
If you have recorded only once in an audio clip, or recorded several complete Takes, the clip is automatically set to
Single Take mode. A Single Take clip could also contain several Comp Rows, where one Comp Row has been
manually selected for playback. The symbol in the lower right corner of a Single Take clip depends on the selected
Stretch and Transpose Type and also determines what Edit Mode the clip will open in:
• A Single Take clip, which has the “Allround” or “Melody” Stretch and Transpose Type looks as follows:
A single Take clip with “Allround” or “Melody” Stretch and Transpose Type.
When you double-click these types of clips, they will automatically open in Slice Edit mode.
• A Single Take clip, which has the “Vocal” Stretch and Transpose Type looks as follows:
A single Take clip with “Vocal” Stretch and Transpose Type.
When you double-click these types of clips, they will automatically open in Pitch Edit mode.
• A Comp clip is built up by segments from several recordings on multiple Comp Rows in the clip.
If you have recorded (or imported) several takes (recordings) in the same audio clip - or recorded several loops in
Loop Mode - and then compiled segments of the various Comp Rows in the Comp Editor, the clip becomes a
Comp clip.
• Comp clips are distinguished by the following symbol in the lower right corner:
A Comp clip, regardless of selected Stretch and Transpose Type.
When you double-click these types of clips, they will automatically open in Comp Edit mode.
