Audio editing
You can now edit audio regions nondestructively in a dedicated Audio Track Editor, as well as
edit the underlying audio files destructively in the Audio File Editor. The Audio Track Editor lets
you move, trim, split, and join audio regions and make other edits, without having to zoom the
Tracks area, or change your view of the larger arrangement.
In addition to editing the timing of audio material using Flex Time, you can quantize and edit the
pitch of audio material using Flex Pitch. You edit the pitch of audio material by choosing a Flex
Pitch algorithm. The contents of the audio track are analyzed using a pitch detection process,
and the results are displayed as a pitch curve.
You can use Flex Pitch in both the Tracks area and the Audio Track Editor. In the Tracks area,
the deviation of notes from their perfect semitone pitch is shown using bars overlaying the
audio waveform. In the Audio Track Editor, sections of the audio material identified as notes are
displayed like notes in the Piano Roll Editor. You can edit the pitch, time position, and length of
notes in much the same way as you would in the Piano Roll Editor. You can also split notes and
join multiple notes together. Each individual note in the Audio Track Editor contains “hotspots,”
which you can use to edit pitch, vibrato, gain, and other parameters.
