Tutorial 8: Editing audio II - tempo and groove
7. Activate Manual Adjust.
This allows us to manually adjust the Timing Grid to correct any timing
variations.
8. Zoom in to the bars of the drum loop. In our case it will
be bars 2, 3 and 4.
9. Hold down [Alt]/[Option] and move the bar Grid lines
close to the beginning of the attacks of the waveform dis-
play. Make sure you are only moving the Grid lines that are
on Bars 2, 3 and 4. You should see the flag “Stretch Pre-
vious - Move Next” appear.
Holding down [Alt]/[Option] and moving the Grid lines at bar positions
allows us to change the tempo of the previous bar while the following
bars will be moved.
10. Now hold down [Ctrl]/[Command] to move the beat
grid lines close to the beginning of the attacks of the
waveform display.
Zoom in to line up the beat grid lines exactly. Do this for the entire drum
loop in all the locations that appear to be off time.
