Set soundbites to same length in Seq Editor?

Post by mwilloam »

Quantize audio seems to work for start point but does not have an effect on the soundbites' length. i want to select several at once and make them equal in length. Obviously assuming they are all minimum that length. Anyone know how?

I haven't done this in awhile. Is releases checked in the Quantize window?

Another option might come to me later!

Not infront of DP now, but I think selecting them all and dragging the end of the SBs while pressing Control, will make them all the same length.

If that doesn't work, try grouping the tracks, or temporarily groping them by pressing letter t.

But I'm almost certain about the Control-dragging. Try it and let us know if it works for you.

Ahh I thought that might do it, and I found in the manual where this is discussed:

Page 353: If you would like all edges to snap to the same location, hold down the Control/Win key while dragging an edge as shown below...

But it snaps the soundbites end to exact same endpoint, not to a matching size. Hmm, might now be possible. I was needing this when cutting up drum samples and after editing wanting to make each hit Xsecs long. Maybe worth a note to MOTU... Thanks for the reply!
