creating a Beat Grid
ITCH will attempt to determine the first transient (this could be a kick drum or bass note) and will
use this for the location of the Downbeat Marker.
Once the Downbeat Marker is set, ITCH uses the track’s BPM to automatically create a Beat
Grid for the rest of the track. If the track’s BPM is very consistent, this could be all you need to
do. But if the BPM varies, you may need to adjust the Beat Grid, or place further Beat Markers
to allow for tempo variations.
To check if the Beat Grid has calculated the markers correctly you can skip forwards through
the track to see if the markers fall on the beats or not (after a breakdown is a good place). It is
also a good idea to go to the track’s outro and see if the markers are still falling on the beats.
Setting a Beat Marker
Pressing the BEAT GRID SET button
46
will place a Beat Marker at the playhead position. By
default, ITCH places the Beat Marker on the closest detected transient.
NOTE:
On the keyboard, pressing X
,
or holding ALT while double-clicking on the waveform
performs the same action.
TIP:
Set new Beat Markers where there is a tempo change in the track to allow the tempo to warp
around these points.
