Adjust:
You can use this to ‘tweak’ the selected preset. If the selected preset gives near
enough a good result, but you feel it may benefit from a little fine tuning, try a few
different settings here until you get the best result.
A positive value will help improve high frequency and percussive sounds while a
negative value will help improve bass sounds.
Most of the time, this can be left at zero.
Press DO IT [F5] to execute timestretch.
