Stretching into a Range

If you create a range while the Stretch Submenu is selected, the menu changes, allowing you to "fit" a clip into the
range.

Allows you to choose
between the three
Wave Menu func-
tions: Stretch, Pitch or
Varispeed.
When you press this Soft Key, the
clip under the cursor is stretched to
fit the range. (Note that this clip may
not be coloured red, as it may be
outside the range). The process may
also result in the clip being slipped,
since the start of the range may not be
at the start of the original clip. Set up
the range, then move the transport so
the cursor is touching the original
clip, then press this Soft Key to start
the processing.

Algorithms

An algorithm is a "method" used in software to achieve a desired result. Because time compression is complex,
there are many ways of doing it, and many settings for the operating parameters. The Prodigy Editor has six varia-
tions to allow for different types of source material.
VOICE 1
-
use for male voice (spoken or sung), or low pitched monphonic instruments
VOICE 2
-
use for female voice (spoken or sung), or high pitched monphonic instruments
POP 1
-
use for highly percussive music or other sound
POP 2
-
use for music or other sound with medium percussive content
CLASSIC 1
-
use for music or other sound with long tones and medium percussive content
CLASSIC 2
-
use for music or other sound with long tones and low percussive content

STRETCH
range
Determines the width of the
frequency window used for
analysis of the audio. The best
policy is to set this value at 50
(halfway through the range),
then adjust upwards to reduce
frequency wobble, or down-
wards to reduce "phasiness"
or "reverbiness".
