Logic: Flex time and flex tool

Using Flex Tool
The flex tool allows for the time compression and expansion of specific areas of a region such as transients. This allows for easy movement to a specific time reference.

1. Select the track with the audio file(s) you want to affect

2. On the track choose the "flex type" by clicking and holding on the menu in the track header (image below)

3. A window will appear with a choice of a few different algorithms called "flex modes"(such as rhythmic, polyphonic, monophonic etc) pick the one that reflects the qualities of the audio region the most.



4. Click and hold the part of the audio file you want to expand or compress and move it to where you want it to land relative to the time grid.

Flex view
You can enable a feature called Flex view that allows a simplified way to see and add transient markers (these are the focal points of movement when you time compress or expand using the flex tool)

To enable Flex view select the region you want to enable, then go to View / Flex view
