Closing Gaps
If the project tempo is slower than the tempo of the original audio event, there may be audible
gaps between the slice events in the part. You can close these gaps so that the audio plays
without any breaks.
PROCEDURE
● Do one of the following:
● Select Audio > Advanced > Close Gaps (Time Stretch) to apply time stretch to each slice
and close the gaps.
Consider activating auto fades for the corresponding audio track, and setting the fade-
out to 10 ms to eliminate clicks.
●
Select Audio > Advanced > Close Gaps (Crossfade) to apply crossfades to the slices and
close the gaps.
