The feature you want to check out is called Audiosnap. It can be your best friend or your worst enemy, depending on the nature of the material, and how you use it. It works best on rhythm tracks with mostly short-duration notes. The artifacts introduced by the "stretching" needed to re-time audio can be worse than the timing errors on tracks with longer sustains, pitch bends or other forms of tonal modulation/evolution.
There are various ways to use Audiosnap. In my experience, the manual methods (i.e. dragging or quantizing a few, selected transients) tend to be more rewarding than the automated methods, and not that much more time-consuming given all the "prep" needed to get the automated methods to work as expected.
