Specify default stretch methods in Preferences dialog

You can now specify the default global online and offline stretch methods in the Preferences dialog box, for both regular audio clips and VocalSync clips.

The stretch method determines which algorithm Cakewalk uses for AudioSnap, stretching, pitch shifting, and bouncing audio clips. For details, see Algorithms and rendering.

1.	Go to Edit > Preferences > Audio - Playback and Recording.

2.	Under Stretch Methods, select the desired default Online Render and Offline Render modes. The online render mode is used for real-time playback, and the offline render mode is used for export, freeze, and bounce.

Cakewalk uses the default stretch methods whenever the Online Render or Offline Render mode is set to Default in the Track Properties Inspector or Clip Properties Inspector (the inherited stretch method name is shown in parenthesis), but you can override the default render modes at the track and clip level.

The following diagram shows how the default stretch methods propagate to tracks and clips.

 

Note: You can also specify the global, per track, and per clip stretch methods in the AudioSnap palette. For details, see Using the AudioSnap palette.
