The Pool

The Pool is a collection of transient markers that can be extracted as a

groove, and also function as snap locations. In order to extract a groove, at

least one AudioSnap-enabled clip must belong to the Pool. You add clips to

the Pool by selecting them, and then enabling the Add Transients to the

Pool button in the AudioSnap palette. You can also Ctrl-click a clip’s

AudioSnap icon to either add the clip to the Pool, or remove it.

A transient marker that belongs to the pool is displayed in the Clips pane as

a solid line within the parent track, and as a dotted line outside the parent

track. Hovering the mouse over a dotted line will display a tooltip containing

the parent track and position. You can show or hide the dotted pool lines by

clicking the Show Pool button in the palette.

The Track view Time Ruler can be added to the Pool. To the right of the

Time Ruler is a small button that looks like an AudioSnap clip icon.

Enabling this button adds the current Musical Time snap resolution to the

pool, and also displays dotted pool lines in the Clips pane. This can be

useful as either a basic visual guide, or for adding the Musical Time to an

extracted groove.

To Add a Clip’s Transients to the Pool

• Select the an AudioSnap-enabled clip, and enable the Add Transients

to the Pool button in the palette. You can remove a clip’s transients

from the Pool by disabling the button.

You can also add the AudioSnap clip to the pool from the Clip Properties

dialog, from the Clips pane right-click menu, or by assigning a key binding.
