Adjusting the timing of a solo performance

When adjusting the timing of a solo performance (for example, a single instrument recorded with a single microphone, or a pre-recorded drum loop, etc.), you can freely drag beats around without worrying about potential phase problems.

By manually adjusting beats, you have complete control over the timing of your audio.

To manually adjust the timing of a solo performance

1.	Select the Smart tool in the Control Bar.

2.	Assign the track’s Edit Filter control to Audio Transients.

Audio clips display transient markers and the AudioSnap palette appears.

3.	Drag the desired transient markers around to perfect the timing.

For more information about editing transient markers, see Editing transient markers.
