Adjust Timing Tool
Time Adjust lets you move any track forward or backward directly in Cryo Mix, so you can fix misaligned stems without having to re-export your session.
Fix the Groove Without Leaving the Browser.
Weโve all been there: you export your stems (separate tracks like vocals, drums, guitar) from your DAW (your recording software), upload them to Cryo Mix and realize the vocals are coming in a split-second late.
In the past, youโd have to go back to your computer, fix the session, re-export, and re-upload. Not anymore. With the Adjust Timing Tool, you can slide your audio into the perfect pocket right inside the Studio.
When to use this tool
- Misaligned Stems: If any of your files aren't synced perfectly with the beat.
- Gaps: If your instrumental has a few milliseconds of silence at the start that throws off the downbeat (the first โ1โ of the bar).
- Creative Changes: If you want to deliberately shift a track to have a "laid back" or "rushed" feel.
How to Adjust Timing
Look at the Toolbar at the top of the Mixing Studio.
Step A: Select the Tool Click the Adjust Timing Icon.
Step B: Grab & Drag
- Click and hold on the specific waveform you want to move (e.g., the Lead Vocal track).
- Drag Left: To make the audio play earlier.
- Drag Right: To make the audio play later.
Step C: Check the Sync
- Use the Solo (S) button on the track you are moving and the Instrumental track.
- Listen closely to the snare or kick to ensure your vocal is locking in perfectly with the rhythm.
Companion Tools: Eraser & Cut
Sometimes moving audio creates new problems. Use these tools to clean up:
- The Eraser Tool: If you nudge a track and reveal a section of unwanted breath noise or a click, select the Eraser from the toolbar to instantly silence that specific spot.
- The Cut Tool: Slices audio into separate regions you can edit independently. Cut between correctly-timed and misaligned sections, then nudge only what needs fixing.
Pro Tip: For the most precise adjustments, use the Waveform Zoom controls to get a close-up view of the transient (the sharp spike at the start of the sound). Visually aligning the start of a vocal phrase with the start of a drum hit is often the fastest way to get everything back in sync.
