3. Select “Close Gaps” from the Advanced submenu on
the Audio menu.
Time stretch is applied to each slice to close the gaps. Depending on the
length of the part and the algorithm set in the Preferences (Editing–Au-
dio page), this can take a little while.
4. The waveform is redrawn and the gaps are closed!
• Note that this feature creates new clips in the Pool, one
for each slice.
• Close Gaps can also be used when the project tempo
is higher than the original loop tempo.
This will use the time stretch function to compress the slices to fit.
• If you decide to change the tempo again after using the
Close Gaps function, you should undo the Close Gaps op-
eration or start over again, using the original unstretched
file.
• You can also use this function on individual events (in
the Audio Part Editor or Project window).
The events don’t have to be slices – you can use Close Gaps simply to
stretch an audio event to the start position of the next event.
Ö There are some restrictions concerning the highest
and lowest possible note pitch. You cannot choose note
pitches above C5 and below E0.
