Quantizing MIDI and audio
The Quantize section
After having sliced your audio events, you can proceed
with setting up the quantize parameters, see “Options for
quantizing to a musical grid” on page 113 or “Options for
quantizing to a groove” on page 113.
Quantize
Click this button to apply your settings and quantize your
audio.
The Crossfades section
The Crossfades section only appears after you have sliced
your audio. The functions in this section are designed to
correct the overlaps or the gaps that might appear due to
the re-positioning of your audio after using the Quantize
function.
Crossfade
Clicking this button cuts the end of the first event at the
start position of the following event (in case of overlaps),
and stretches the second event until it starts at the end of
the previous event (in case of gaps).
Making crossfade settings
In some cases, you might want to achieve seamless tran-
sitions, i. e. apply crossfades after closing the gaps. For
this purpose, use the following parameters:
• Open Crossfade Editor
This opens the Crossfade editor, where you can specify curve kind,
length, and other parameters for your crossfades, see
“The Crossfade
dialog” on page 121.
• Length
With this parameter you can specify the length of the crossfade area.
• Nudge Crossfade Left/Right
Clicking these buttons moves the fade area in the audio event to the left
or to the right in steps of one millisecond. This is useful if the Offset value
in the section “Slice Rules” was not high enough, and you want to avoid
that the crossfade cuts an attack.
