Chapter 22: Beat Detective 345
When conforming separated regions, the region
sync point, not the region start point, deter-
mines where the region is placed.
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 19).
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 (see Figure 20).
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 more information, see
“Detection (Normal) and Collection Mode” on
page 349.
For more information on region sync points,
see “Defining Region Sync Points” on
page 265.
