After assigning a flex mode to an audio track, you have the option of isolating individual
regions—or take regions in the case of take folders—from the effects of the chosen flex
mode algorithm. You do this by turning off the flex mode for the individual regions or
take regions.

Hold down the Shift key while you open the Flex Mode pop-up menu in the Inspector’s
Track Parameter box and choose a mode.
When you assign a flex mode to an audio track for the first time, all audio files on that
track are passed through a transient detection process. Audio files on the track are scanned,
transients in the audio material are detected and marked, and all information about
transient positions is stored in the audio files.
Note: Transient markers are identical in all audio regions that refer to the same section
of an audio file, and they are consistently present when you use that audio file in multiple
projects.
