Analyzed files are indicated by a check mark to the
left of the file name.
Analyzed files in which a regular tempo was de-
tected are updated as tick-based, display their du-
ration in Bars|Beats, and display their native tempo
in the Tempo column.
Analyzed files in which no tempo was detected re-
main sample-based. These files typically contain
only a single transient (such as a snare hit) or they
are longer files without a readily identifiable regu-
lar tempo (such as entire songs).
To clear Elastic Audio analysis:
1 In a DigiBase browser, select the files with
Elastic Audio analysis that you want to clear.
2 Do one of the following:
• From the Browser menu, choose
Clear
Elastic Analysis
.
• Right-click one of the selected files and choose
Clear Elastic Analysis from the pop-up menu.
Files cleared of Elastic Audio analysis data revert
to sample timebase, display their duration in min-
utes and seconds, and do not report a tempo.
File Timebase and Elastic Audio
Analysis Icons
DigiBase browsers provide three icons to indicate
whether a file has Elastic Audio analysis and the
file’s timebase.
Elastic Audio Analysis Icon Indicates that the file
has Elastic Audio analysis data.
Sample-Based File Icon Indicates that the file is
sample-based. The file’s duration is displayed in
minutes and seconds.
Tick-Based File Icon Indicates that the file is tick-
based. The file’s duration is displayed in
Bars|Beats and the file’s native tempo is displayed
in the tempo column.
On Mac, if you do not see the Elastic Audio
Analysis icon or the duration does not
change to tick-based during the preview pro-
cess, check the permissions for the folder in
the Mac Finder. You must have write access
of the directory for this feature to work.
