if you have an audio event with a certain tune and sound 
and you want to create an identical second tune with a 
MIDI instrument or...

Selecting an algorithm for the flattening
When you flatten the realtime processing, you can use the 
MPEX 4 algorithm or the Realtime algorithm to process 
the audio. The MPEX 4 algorithm may produce better 
sound quality than the realtime processing. The Realtime 
algorithm corresponds to the algorithm preset selected on 
the Sample Editor toolbar. For a detailed description of 
the available presets, see 
“About time stretch and pitch 
shift algorithms” on page 259.

The Audio Part Editor
Background
The Audio Part Editor allows you to view and edit the events 
inside audio parts. Essentially, this is the same type of edit
-
ing that you do in the Project window, which means that 
this chapter contains a lot of references to the chapter 
“Working with projects” on page 48.
Audio parts are created in the Project window in one of 
the following ways:
•By selecting one or several audio events on the same 
track, and selecting “Events to Part” from the Audio menu.
•By...

About lanes
If you make the editor window larger, this will reveal addi-
tional space below the edited events. This is because an 
audio part is divided vertically in lanes. 
Lanes can make it easier to work with several audio events 
in a part. Moving some of the events to another lane can 
make selection and editing much easier.
•To move an event to another lane without accidentally 
moving it horizontally, press [Ctrl]/[Command] and drag it 
up or down.

mands stop the current playback, no matter if you are in 
normal playback or in audition mode.
The independent track loop function
The independent track loop is a sort of “mini-cycle”, affect-
ing only the edited part. When the loop is activated, the 
events in the parts that are within the loop will be repeated...

•It is possible to cycle between parts, making them ac-
tive using key commands.
In the Key Commands dialog – Edit category, there are two functions: 
“Activate Next Part” and “Activate Previous Part”. If you assign key com

mands to these, you can use them to cycle between parts. See “Setting up key commands” on page 542 for instructions on how to set up key 
commands.

The Pool
Background
Every time you record on an audio track, a file is created 
on your hard disk. A reference to this file – a clip – is also 
added to the Pool. Two general rules apply to the Pool:
•All audio and video clips that belong to a project are 
listed in the Pool.
•There is a separate Pool for every project.
The way the Pool displays folders and their contents is 
similar to the way the Mac OS X Finder and the Windows 
Explorer display folders and lists of files.
In the Pool you can,...
