RESULT

The areas between the hitpoints are sliced and become separate events. The original audio event

is replaced by an audio part containing the slices.

On playback, the audio plays back seamlessly at the project tempo.

AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK

Change the project tempo. The slices are moved accordingly, keeping their relative positions

within the part.

Double-click the sliced audio part and replace or extract individual slices in the Audio Part

Editor.

Slices and the Project Tempo

The project tempo affects how the sliced audio is played back.

Project Tempo Is Slower Than the Original Audio

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. If this is the case, you have the following options:

● Select Audio> Advanced> Close Gaps (Timestretch).

This applies time stretch to each slice and closes the gaps. Consider activating auto fades

for the corresponding audio track. Fade-outs set to 10 ms help eliminate clicks.

● Select Audio> Advanced> Close Gaps (Crossfade).

This applies crossfades to the slices and closes the gaps.

NOTE

If you decide to change the tempo again, undo your actions and use the original, unstretched

file.

Project Tempo Is Higher Than the Original Audio

If the project tempo is higher than the tempo of the original audio event, the slice events in the

part may overlap.

If this is the case, right-click the track in the track list and from the context menu, select Auto

Fades Settings to smooth out the sound.

Furthermore, you can select the overlapping events in the part and select Audio> Advanced>

Delete Overlaps.
