Optimizing sound files for your song

In this article we will take a look at using「time stretch functions」in song arrangements.

We covered this topic briefly in our 「fill arrangement」 article, but this function
allows you to change audio/midi file lengths to fit into your own music.

Use this function to do this like 「optimize sound effect timing」or「change drum patterns」.

Optimizing length

You’ve found a sfx you like, but「the timing doesn’t fit…」
In this situation, use time stretching, to stretch/shrink it to your liking.

By「doubling/halving」a drum pattern, you can quickly create different rhythms for a song with ease.
