Processing Audio Using X‑Form

X-Form lets you change the time and pitch of selected audio independently or concurrently.

You can adjust both the Time Shift and Pitch Shift controls independently before processing.

To change the time of a selected audio clip:

1 Select AudioSuite > Pitch Shift > X-Form.

2 Select the Audio Type appropriate to the type of material you are processing (Monophonic or Polyphonic).

3 If compressing the duration of the selection, attenuate the Gain control as necessary.

4 Adjust the Transient controls as desired.

5 Enable the desired Range button (2x, 4x, or 8x) to set the possible range for time change.

6 Adjust the Time Shift control to the desired amount of time change. Time change is measured in terms of the target duration using the selected timebase or as a percentage of the original speed.

7 Click Render.
