The Sample Editor
The Sample Editor allows you to edit the selected audio file. The main area of the
Sample Editor shows a detailed waveform rendering of your audio file.
• Zoom in and out using the “+” and “-” buttons in the bottom right corner or by
clicking in the ruler at the top of the Sample Editor and dragging up or down.
• Use the scrollbar at the bottom to scroll left or right.
The Sample Editor contains two additional sections for editing step envelopes and
detecting the tempo of an audio file, see
“Step Envelope Editing” on page 105 and
“Detecting the Tempo of an Audio File” on page 107.
At the top and on the left of the Sample Editor, you find global audio setting
parameters:
Event Name/Rename Event
You can rename the event by clicking in the field and entering a new name.
Volume
You can adjust the event volume by clicking the Volume field and dragging up or
down. Alternatively, you can double-click in the Volume field and enter a value.
Original Tempo vs. Project Tempo
You can switch between Original Tempo and Project Tempo mode by clicking the
corresponding buttons:
• In Project Tempo mode, the event’s tempo is locked to the project tempo. The
tempo of the audio is compressed or stretched and the size of the event is
adjusted accordingly.
• In Original Tempo mode, the event keeps the tempo of the corresponding audio
file.
The Free Warp Tool
The Free Warp tool allows you to manually adjust how the audio lines up to bars and
beats. If the Free Warp tool is activated, you can click in the waveform to add warp
tabs and move them to the left or right to change the timing and to time stretch the
audio. See
“Audio Quantization and Free Warp” on page 103 for more information.
Time Stretch Mode
On the “Set Time Stretch Mode” pop-up menu you can select an algorithm preset that
affects the stretch result of your audio. For details, see
“About Time Stretch and Pitch
Shift Algorithms” on page 102.
Reset Warping
The “Reset Warping” button resets any changes that you made with the Free Warp
tool. This deletes all warp tabs and restores the bars and beats to their original
settings.
Ö
The warp settings are saved with the project.
