Tutorial 8: Editing audio II – tempo and groove
6. The last segment seems to be too short. Click and
drag so that the segment is as long as the audio file.
The last segment before…
…and after adjusting the segment length.
Ö When you are in Segments mode, the segments are
shown with a hatched background.
Using segments to change the timing of your
audio
1. Switch back to the Pitch & Warp mode. A shortcut for
this is to press [Tab].
The Pitch & Warp mode allows you to change the pitch and timing of
your audio. When you are in Pitch & Warp mode the segments are
shown with a plain background.
2. The last segment seems to carry on a bit too long.
Shorten the last segment so that it’s about half its length.
You are actually time stretching at the segment level. When you edit the
timing of audio segments, warp tabs will be created. For more informa-
tion about time stretching, see the chapter “Sample Editor” in the Oper-
ation Manual.
Tilting notes using VariAudio
Tilting of individual notes is referred to as editing “micro
pitches”. You can modify pitch modulation like light vibrato,
tremolo or slide by using the Straighten Pitch slider or by
editing the micro pitches.
Straighten pitch
1. Double-click on the audio file to open the Sample Editor.
2. Open the VariAudio tab.
3. The Pitch & Warp mode should already be selected. If
it isn’t, click the Pitch & Warp button to activate it.
Notice that the last segment has a lot of pitch variation in it.
4. Select the last segment and move the Straighten Pitch
slider towards the right.
This reduces the amount of pitch modulation that the segment contains,
basically smoothing it out.
5. Listen back to hear the changes.
Ö Feel free to use Straighten Pitch on all the segments. It
can be very useful to correct minor unwanted pitch vari-
ances in your performance.
