beat. If you then separate and conform the re-
gion containing this note, it will be moved to
the wrong location. Subsequent regions may be
moved to the wrong locations as well.
If a beat trigger is not assigned the correct metric
location, relocate it using Identify Trigger.
To change the metric location of a beat trigger:
1 Double-click the beat trigger you want to relo-
cate. The Identify Trigger dialog opens.
2 In the Identify Trigger dialog, enter the correct
location for the trigger, then click OK.
Navigating Consecutive Beat Triggers
Use the Scroll Next button to move from the
currently selected beat trigger to the next beat
trigger. To move to the previous beat trigger,
Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Macin-
tosh) the Scroll Next button. This is particularly
useful for editing consecutive beat triggers when
zoomed in at the sample level.
Generating Bar|Beat Markers
with Beat Detective
Once Beat Detective has accurately detected the
peak transients in the audio selection and accu-
rately generated beat triggers, the triggers can be
converted to Bar|Beat Markers. Bar|Beat Markers
generated by Beat Detective create a tempo map
that can be used throughout the session.
Once beat triggers are accurately represented ac-
cording to Bars, Beats, and Sub-Beats, other au-
dio regions and MIDI notes can be conformed to
the Bar|Beat Markers generated by Beat Detec-
tive.
If you want to match the audio material to the
session’s existing tempo map or a groove tem-
plate, do not generate Bar|Beat Markers from the
material. Instead, use Beat Detective to separate
and conform the material (see “Separating Re-
gions with Beat Detective” on page 344).
To generate Bar|Beat Markers with Beat
Detective:
1 In the Edit window, make an audio selection.
2 In the Beat Detective window, select Bar|Beat
Marker Generation mode.
3 Define or capture the selection as described in
“Defining a Beat Detective Selection” on
page 336.
4 Set the Detection resolution to Bars or Beats,
and configure the Detection settings so the se-
lection’s peak transients are accurately detected
(see “Generating Beat Triggers” on page 338).
5 Click the Generate button.
