Using an Audio Part to Quantize another Audio Part
This is a combination of the two above procedures:
1. Create Match Points for the Events in
both
Audio Parts, as described on
page 249.
2. For each Event in
the Part you want to Quantize
, pull down the Do pop-
up menu and select Snip at M-Points.
The Audio Events are split at the positions of the M-Points.
3. In the Arrange Window, select the Match Quantize tool.
4. Drag the “source” Audio Part and release it on top of the “destination”
Audio Part.
As in the previous example, a dialog box appears, asking if you want to quan-
tize permanently. If you click “Yes” the Audio file will be quantized perma-
nently as described on page 442.
5. If you do not want to permanently process the file, click “No”.
The start points of the Events in the “destination” Audio Part will be quantized
to the positions of the M-Points in the Audio Events in the other Part.
Undo Quantize
The Undo Quantize item on the Functions menu does not apply to Audio. However,
you can Undo the last Quantize operation, as with any other operation, by using
Undo on the Edit menu.
“True” Quantizing (by Time Stretching)
As described in the chapter “Matching Audio and Tempo” there are very advanced
ways of processing an audio file, to make it fit with other material. However, you
may also permantly quantize an audio file without leaving the Audio editor.
● Since this process permanently alters your audio files, you may want to make
a copy of the file before proceeding! See the Audio Pool chapter for instruc-
tions on how to duplicate files.
1. Select the Event to be quantized, and insert Match Points using the Get
M-Points function on the Do pop-up menu.
This creates Match Points on the musically “important” positions in the Audio
Event, as described on page 492 in this chapter. You may also add Match
Points manually using the Pencil tool.
2. Set the Quantize value as usual.
● If there are great differences between the spacing of the M-Points and the
Quantize value, this gives rise to very large Time Stretch factors. Since this
may cause undesired results, try to use a Quantize value that matches the
spacing of the M-Points fairly well.
