Sound Analysis During Loading

When a sound is loaded, the software parses it for peaks in order to display the wave form. If Auto Beat Matching

is on, the software also parses for tempo, beats and key (for sounds over 30 seconds). If the software detects a

tempo or key, it may adjust the snap point to the first beat and alter the sound based on the project key and tempo.

For more on adding sounds see How To Manipulate Sounds.
