tion Toolkit 2, or Pro Tools LE with Complete

Separating Multiple Tracks
You can use beat triggers from a single track, or
subset of tracks, to separate a group of tracks.
In the following example, the defined selection
is a drum loop consisting of two bars of 5/4. The
kick, snare, hi-hat, and overhead microphones
are recorded to separate tracks.
Analyzing the loop’s kick drum track, with De-
tection Resolution set to Beats, Beat Detective
places beat triggers at the transients on beats 1
and 4 (see Figure 3).
Extending the selection to the snare, hi-hat, and
overhead microphones tracks, and then per-
forming the separation, results in separated re-
gions in each of the drum tracks at the same lo-
cation, based on the beat triggers from the kick
drum track.
The separated regions can then be conformed as
a group.
You can also utilize Collection mode when
working with multiple tracks. Collection mode
lets you analyze and detect triggers on tracks in-
dividually, and if you choose, add only the
unique triggers from the current track to the
overall collection.
For information about other Beat Detective
features, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
