Adjusting Audio Speed with Characters Per Second (CPS)

Updated over a month ago

This article will guide you through the process of understanding and adjusting audio speed within a studio environment, focusing on the concept of Characters Per Second (CPS).
​

1. Project Initiation and CPS Observation:

Begin by opening your project within the studio. Once opened, you will be able to observe the CPS corresponding to each audio segment.
​

2. Defining Characters Per Second (CPS):

CPS stands for "Characters Per Second." It represents the speed of the audio within a specific segment, effectively indicating how quickly the audio is delivered. A higher CPS value means the audio is played faster, while a lower value means it's played slower.
​

3. Modifying CPS:

Let's illustrate how to change the CPS of a specific segment. For example, if you wish to modify any segment, which initially has a CPS of 14:

  • Select the Segment: Click on the segment to select it.

  • Adjust CPS: Click and drag either of the extreme ends (the left or right edge) of the selected segment.

  • Observe Changes: As you drag, you'll notice the CPS value changing. For instance, dragging might increase the CPS from 14 to 17.

  • Resetting CPS: Dragging the end back to its original position will revert the CPS to its initial value (14 in this case).

  • Flexibility: You can adjust the CPS by dragging from either end of the segment.


    ​

4. Timeline Repositioning:

Beyond adjusting speed, you can also reposition the timeline of individual segments:

  • Select and Drag: Click at the center of any segment and drag it either left or right along the timeline.

  • Timeline Adjustment: This action will alter the position of that specific segment within the overall timeline.
