Audio Quantization
Audio quantization and warp allow you to lock events to
the project tempo. This is great for correcting audio that
has bad timing.
The quantize function in Sequel is automatic and is great
for quickly locking drum tracks to tempo.
Here we have a “Drums” event that has a few timing issues.
1. Start playback using the space bar to hear how the
drum beat strays off time.
2. Turn on the metronome to hear the mistakes more
clearly.
3. Double-click on the “Drums” event to view it in the
sample editor.
4. Change the Stretch Mode to “Song Tempo” and
change the optimization to “Mix”.
• First of all, make sure that the right number of bars is set
and that the grid lines are positioned at the visible beats.
In our example, these settings should be OK, so leave everything as it is.
5. Make sure that the Quantize value is set to “1/4”.
You can see the audio file locking to the nearest quarter note.
6. Click on the “Warp Beats” button.
This will automatically snap the audio to the selected Quantize value.
7. Play back the project and you will find that it is now in
perfect time.
