Choosing Flex Modes

Flex modes are track-based settings that determine how the audio will be altered—either
by using time compression or expansion algorithms, by manipulating invisibly sliced
segments, or by speeding up or slowing down the material. Your first step is to assign a
flex mode to the audio track, which affects the entire contents of the track.
