Slices and the Project Tempo

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

Note

To ensure that the loop follows any further tempo changes, set the Toggle Time Base button in the track list or Inspector to a musical time base (the button shows a note symbol).

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.
