		from the ground, but you want to align the moment that the fireworks
		explode to be on the first beat of a bar. To do this, set the IN point at
		the launch of the fireworks, the FROM point at the explosion, and the
		OUT point at the end of the sound. Then, set the TO point at the start
		of the bar to copy the entire clip so that the sound of the fireworks
		exploding occurs on the first beat of the bar.
