AudioSnap (Producer and Studio only)
Using the AudioSnap palette
• Clip Follows Project Tempo . This button forces the clip to follow the project’s global
tempo map. The drop-down list lets you specify at which resolution the clip should follow tempo
changes. The options are as follows:
• Beats
• Measures
• Clip (default)
• Edit Clip Tempo Map . Each audio clip has an internal tempo map. This button exposes
controls that allow you to edit a clip’s tempo map. For details, see “Editing a clip’s tempo map” on
page 589.
Timing section
• Quantize . This button opens the Quantize dialog, which has options to quantize
AudioSnap Beats and Audio Clip Start Times, and also to set automatic crossfade options.
• Extract Groove . This button adds the selected clip’s transients to the Pool (see “Using the
Pool” on page 621) and shows vertical Pool lines. To apply the pool (groove) to another clip,
select the desired clip and click the Apply Groove button. To clear the Pool, click the Extract
Groove button again.
• Apply Groove . This button applies the currently extracted groove (Pool) to the selected
clips, clears the Pool and releases the Extract Groove button. See also “To quantize an audio
clip to another audio clip (Quantize to Pool)” on page 603.
Filter section
• 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.
• Resolution. This drop-down list is available when a clip’s transient markers are showing. The
selected Resolution value lets you disable markers based on their time location. This clears out
unwanted markers to make editing easier. Larger values create 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.
Note: The Clips follow project tempo command only works on clips that are configured to use
musical time (the Time Base property is set to Musical in the Clip Inspector).
Note: If an existing Pool exists when you click the Extract Groove button, the existing Pool will
first be cleared.
