372 AudioSnap
Enabling AudioSnap
• Show transients—this button shows or hides the transient markers on a
selected audio clip or clips.
• Add transients to the Pool—this button adds or deletes the clip’s
transient markers from the Pool. The markers do not have to be visible
to be added to the Pool. See The Pool for more information.
• Auto Stretch—this button enables or disables Auto Stretch: a clip
property that causes the audio clip to automatically follow any new
project tempo changes; the clip will not automatically follow existing
tempo as Groove Clips do.
• Sensitivity—this slider is available when a clip’s transient markers are
showing. The slider disables markers based on their time location. This
clears out unwanted markers to make editing easier. Dragging the
slider to the right creates a bigger time window, based on musical time
values, which preserves markers that are closest to the displayed
musical time value, and disables others. Works on selected clips.
• Threshold—this slider is available when a clip’s transient markers are
showing. The slider disables markers based on their volume. This
clears out unwanted markers to make editing easier. Dragging the
slider to the right creates a bigger volume threshold, which disables
markers that are fall below that threshold. Works on selected clips.
• Go to Previous/Next—these 2 buttons move the Now Time to the
previous or next transient marker in selected clips.
• Audition Beat—this button plays the current transient/beat.
• Reset—this button resets all selected markers to their original location.
• Insert Marker—this button inserts a new marker at the Now Time in all
selected AudioSnap-enabled clips.
• Split Beats into Clips—this button splits a clip at each transient marker
into multiple clips.
• Snap to Transients—this button enables/disables beat snapping. When
you move a marker, magnetic snapping is active regardless of whether
the Track view Snap to Grid is enabled (unless you try to move a
marker onto another marker in the same clip, which isn’t allowed).
• Show Pool—this button hides or shows the Pool lines.
• Show Time—this button hides or shows the display of the project time
at each transient marker on all AudioSnap-enabled clips. You can
change the format that the displayed project time is in (independent of
the rest of the application) by using the dropdown menu that’s on the
