Default All Markers tool
The Default All Markers tool restores all automatically generated markers to the original position
and enables all those that were disabled. Manually created markers remain as is.
Slices Resolution
The Slice Resolution control sets the resolution for the creation of markers, or the “slicing” of the
looped clip. This control uses note lengths, so the settings are:
• No Slicing
•Whole notes
• Half notes
• Quarter notes
• Eighth notes
• Sixteenth notes
• Thirty-second notes
The automatic markers appear at the note resolutions according to the slider setting. At the eighth
note setting, there are eight markers per measure.
This control works well for slicing audio that has more subtle changes in volume with few dramatic
transients.
The markers in a loop clip preserve the timing of the audio at that moment. Too few or too many
markers can cause unwanted “artifacts” when a loop clip is stretched.
Transient Detection
The Transient Detection control senses transients in your audio clip and assigns a marker at the
beginning and end of each one it finds. As you increase the number in this field, smaller transients
are detected and the number of markers increases.
