Demo summary

The creator demonstrates using the 'stretch' knob and 'e3 generic' mode to manually fit an audio clip to the project grid.

Step-by-step

  1. Locate the stretch knob in the corner of the playlist window
  2. Enable the stretch button to allow manual sample bending
  3. Select 'e3 generic' mode from the audio clip settings
  4. Click and drag the edge of the audio sample to fit it to the project grid

Watch out for

  • You must have 'e3 generic' mode selected to prevent audio artifacts or pitch shifting during the stretch

Highlights

The only button you'll need from this corner is the stretch knob.
