The Groove Quantize command aligns transients with a groove that’s on the Clipboard or a pre-

extract MIDI timing from an audio clip” on page 610.
1. Select the audio clip you want to groove quantize.
2. Press A to open the AudioSnap palette.
3. On the Process menu, click Groove Quantize.
The Groove Quantize dialog appear
4. In the Groove File field, select either Clipboard or the file that the groove pattern you want to
use is saved in.
5. In the Groove Pattern field, select the groove pattern that you want to use.
6. Select the Resolution value that you want to quantize to.
7. Make sure the AudioSnap Beats check box is selected.
8. Click OK.
To extract the groove from one clip and apply it to another clip
1. Select the audio clip you want to extract the groove from.
2. Press A to open the AudioSnap palette.

The clip’s groove is extracted and vertical Pool lines are displayed to indicate the extracted
transients.
4. Select the clip you want to apply the groove to.
5. Click the Apply Groove button.
The groove is applied to the selected clip and the Pool is cleared.
To manually match transients across different tracks

Audio clips show transient markers and the AudioSnap palette appears.
3. In the Control Bar’s Snap module, click the Snap to Audio Transients button (or press
CTRL+SHIFT+F12).
Note: When snapping audio transients, the following rules apply:
• If a Pool exists, audio transients snap to the Pool.
• If a Pool does not exists, audio transients snap to transients in the selected tracks.
• If there are no selected tracks, audio transients snap to transients in the selected clip.
