Working with loops and Groove Clips
Using Groove Clips
Groove clips are easy to use because they automatically adjust to your project’s pitch markers and
tempo. You can import existing loops or create your own, using the Loop Construction view.
To import a Groove Clip into your project
1. Select a Track in the Track view.
2. Set the Now Time to the place you want the clip to begin.
3. Select File > Import > Audio from the menu.
The Open dialog appears.
4. Navigate to a directory that contains Groove clips and select one.
5. Click Open.
Or
1. Open the Browser and click the Media button .
2. Navigate to a directory that contains Groove clips.
3. Drag and drop a clip into the Track view, or double-click it to insert it at the Now Time.
4. The clip appears on the track and at the time in your project where you drop it, so if you want the
clip on a new track, drop it after the last track in your project.
By default, Groove clips are loop-enabled and transposed to match the project’s pitch.
Setting the default project pitch
Go to Project > Set Default Groove Clip Pitch and specify the default pitch.
Your project now uses the root note of your clips to transpose to the project pitch. Use Pitch markers
at different points in your project to change the pitch. For more information about Pitch markers, see
“Using pitch markers in the Track view” on page 644.
