Accordion Warp
Accordion Warp applies Elastic Audio process-
ing on both sides of a singe Warp marker in a re-
gion. This lets you expand or compress the au-
dio equally on both sides of a fixed point.
Accordion warp is useful for audio files where
the downbeat occurs in the middle of the re-
gion.
To apply Accordion Warp to a region:
In Warp view, add a single Warp marker at the
1
point in the region that you want to remain
fixed on the Timeline.
With the Grabber tool, drag any Event marker
2
that is before or after the single Warp marker to
the left or the right.

Range Warp
Range Warp applies Elastic Audio processing be-
tween two fixed points in a region. To apply
Range Warp, there must be at least two Warp
markers present in the region.
To apply Range Warp within a region:
In Warp view, add a Warp marker at the first
1
point that you want to fix to the Timeline.
Add another Warp marker to the end point
2
that you want to fix to the Timeline.
With the Grabber tool, drag an Event marker
3
between the two Warp markers to the left or
right. A Warp marker is added on top of the
Event marker and the audio is compressed or ex-
panded on either side of the clicked and dragged
marker while the audio outside the bounding
markers remains unaffected.
