Define Bars section
In this section, you set the length of the selected audio and the time signature:
• Bars
If you use the tempo setting (see below), specify the length of the
selected audio here, in bars.
• Beats
If you use the tempo setting, specify the length of the selected audio
here, in beats.
• Sign.
If you use the tempo setting, specify the time signature here.
Original Length section
This section contains information and settings regarding the audio selected
for processing:
• Length in Samples
The length of the selected audio, in samples.
• Length in Seconds
The length of the selected audio, in seconds.
• Tempo in BPM
If you are processing music, and know the actual tempo of the audio,
you can enter it here as beats per minute. This makes it possible to
time-stretch the audio to another tempo, without having to compute the
actual time stretch amount.
Resulting Length section
These settings are used if you want to stretch the audio to fit within a specific
time span or tempo. The values will change automatically if you adjust the
Time Stretch Ratio (see below).
• Samples
The desired length in samples.
• Seconds
The desired length in seconds.
• BPM
The desired tempo (beats per minute). For this to work, you have to
know the actual tempo of the audio, and specify this (along with time
signature and length in bars) in the Original Length section to the left.
Seconds Range section
These settings allow you to set the desired range for the time stretch.
• Range
Allows you to specify the desired length as a range between two time
positions.
