8. Hold down [Ctrl]/[Command], click and drag the red
flag (Stretch Bars) to the left or right until the second bar
in the ruler is aligned with the position of the second
downbeat of the sample, and release the mouse button.
The start of the next bar is set, and all grid positions will be stretched.
9. Check the other beats and use the pink flag (Stretch
Previous - Move Next) if necessary.
This flag is shown at bar positions. When you drag it with the mouse, the
start of the next bar is set, and the tempo of the last bar will be changed.
10. Now have a look at the single beats in between the
bars, and, if necessary, use the blue flag (Adjust Beat Posi-
tion - Single) to adjust them.
Drag the flag until the single beat position is aligned with the waveform,
and release the mouse button.
11. Activate Musical Mode and start playback.
If you find that the beat sounds too straight, you can select
a resolution for the audio by adjusting the Quantize value
on the AudioWarp tab. When you select the “Bar” option,
the audio will be synced to tempo without quantizing. The
Swing fader lets you offset every second position in the
grid creating a swing or shuffle feel.
Ö Note that the Quantize pop-up will be only be available
if the Musical Mode is activated on the toolbar.
The loop will automatically adjust to the project tempo,
and follow any further tempo changes you make! In the
Project window, the audio event will have a note symbol
and a double arrow in the lower right corner. The note
symbol indicates Musical mode and the arrow indicates
that the file is stretched.
