Times

This sets the number of copies to be pasted, one after another, at the TO point.

Quantize

When Times is set to a number other than 1, Quantize lets you paste the copied phrases
precisely on the first beat of the tempo map’s measures. You can set Quantize to:

Off

—so that copies are pasted according to the Overlap setting described below.

On

—so that the TO point for the first copy is shifted to the first beat of the measure

in which TO is currently placed. Each subsequent copy is pasted the same number
of measures away from the FROM point, at the first beat of the measure.

This allows you to keep pasted copies in time no matter what the tempo of the audio in
the project is, even if it speeds up or slows down.

Overlap

When the Times parameter is set to a number other than 1, the Overlap parameter sets
the timing relationship between pasted copies. When Overlap is:

Off

—the front of each copied phrase is pasted to the end of the preceding copy. The

copied phrases’ timing can grow more and more incorrect with each copy.

On

—each copy is pasted at the same time distance from the start of the previous

copy as the distance between FROM and TO. If the length of the phrase is different
than the distance between FROM and TO, Overlap keeps the pasted copies in time.

To take advantage of the Quantize feature, you’ll need to established a tempo map for
your project. See Page 312.
