Beat Detective
This command opens the Beat Detective
™
win-
dow. Beat Detective automatically detects the
tempo of a session and conforms an audio track
or selection to that tempo by separating it into
clips and aligning it to the beats. Beat Detective
is ideal for tailoring a performance to a groove.
For detailed information about Beat Detective,
refer to the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
Identify Beat
This command lets you establish a tempo/meter
map for audio that was recorded without listen-
ing to a click, or for imported audio with un-
known tempos.
The Identify Beat command analyzes a selection
range (usually with a distinct number of beats or
measures) and calculates its tempo based on the
specified meter. In doing this, Bar|Beat markers
for the calculated tempo are inserted and appear
in the Tempo Ruler at the beginning and end of
the selection. in addition, meter events are in-
serted into the Meter Ruler.
Renumber Bars
This command lets you renumber the bars in the
session, effectively changing the bar locations
for all clips, meter and tempo events while leav-
ing their position intact. In doing so, however,
the SMPTE and sample locations of the session
data are not changed.
All MIDI Notes Off
This command sends an All Notes Off MIDI
message to all MIDI devices connected to your
system to silence any stuck notes.
