Quantizing audio
Audio quantizing can be made in the Quantize section on the Transport Panel, in the Tool Window or from the context
menu or Edit menu.
! Audio can only be quantized after recording, not during recording.
! Quantize requires that the clips have Stretch enabled (see “Enable/Disable Stretch (Audio Clips)”).
! To get the best sound quality when you are quantizing audio it’s important that you have selected the correct
Stretch Type for the audio clip, see “Opening audio clips for editing”.
! Note that quantization of audio clips that have “Vocal” Stretch and Transpose Type is made on the pitch tran-
sitions (where the “notes” start) and not on the level transients as in Slice Edit mode, see “Editing audio in
Pitch Edit mode”.
! The difference between quantizing audio and MIDI notes is that several Slice Markers cannot be quantized to
the same position. Instead, only the Slice Markers closest to the quantization grid will be moved - the remain-
ing Slice Markers will be left unaffected.
It’s possible to use the quantize audio function in the following ways:
Quantizing selected Slice Marker(s) in Slice Edit mode
Quantizing Slice Markers has the same effect as moving the Slice Markers to a quantization grid:
1. Select the Slice Markers you want to quantize:
A range of Slice Markers selected for quantization.
2. Select Quantize Value (and Amount and/or Random values) in the Tool Window and click Apply:
The selected Slice Markers that are closest to the quantization grid are automatically moved to the quantization grid.
