Using the Pool
To add the Time ruler to the Pool
1. In the Control Bar’s Snap module, set the Musical Time value to the resolution you would like to
add to the Pool.
2. Select the Smart tool in the Control Bar.
3. Assign the track’s Edit Filter control to Audio Transients .
4. Right-click in the Clips pane and select Pool > Add MBT to pool on the pop-up menu.
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, or to fill in any transients that may be “missing” in a syncopated or sparse
section.
To add transient markers at Pool lines
1. Select the Smart tool in the Control Bar.
2. Assign the track’s Edit Filter control to Audio Transients .
3. Make sure that the Pool contains markers from at least one clip, or from the Time Ruler.
4. Select the clips that you want to add markers to.
5. Right-click a selected clip and choose Pool > Apply transient pool markers on the pop-up
menu.
Markers appear on the selected clips at Pool lines. When aligning clips on multiple tracks, it is
necessary to split and/or quantize all clips at the exact same position in order to avoid phase
problems when quantizing audio. In order to do so, it is necessary to establish a common, or
“master”, transient reference pool which can be applied to all tracks. The
Apply transient pool
markers command will use the transient pool as a reference, and insert identical transient markers
on all selected clips.
Groove Quantize and Quantize to Pool
You can use two kinds of groove quantizing on audio clips: the Groove Quantize command aligns
transients with a groove that’s on the Clipboard, and the Quantize to pool command aligns
transients with the Pool.
When you use the
Groove Quantize command, you can align a clip with a pre-existing groove, or
you can extract a groove from another clip.
For information about extracting a groove, see
“To extract MIDI timing from an audio clip” on page
679.
Note: Adding markers at Pool lines can add a lot of markers to a clip. If you later decide that you
want to work with the clip’s original markers, you can remove only the markers that you added
by right-clicking the transient marker, and choosing
Reset from the pop-up menu.
