Introducing the Sample Editor
The Sample Editor displays the contents of audio files as waveform graphics. You can use
the Sample Editor to precisely edit audio files (and regions). The Sample Editor also features
a number of useful destructive processing tools. These allow you to time stretch and
pitch shift audio, change sample rates, extract MIDI grooves from the audio, and even
quantize audio.
