BEAT GRID & SYNC
A Beat Grid is a series of markers within a track
that indicate a beat or a transient within the music
structure.
A Beat Grid allows ITCH to know precisely
where each beat occurs, and where each bar is
within the music structure. This accurate beat
information opens up the possibilities for users
to further manipulate a track and for precise track
syncing and advanced looping features.
Calculating the track's BPM when analyzing
an audio file will evaluate the average BPM of
a given track. Some track's BPMs are linear,
so setting an accurate beat grid is easy, only
requiring you to set the first downbeat Beat
Marker. If you have tracks with variable BPMs
you can also set custom Beat Markers, which will
snap the grid more accurately to the track.
Enable Beat Grid
To turn on Beat Grid functionality, check the
Enable Beat Grid option in the Playback tab on the
Setup screen.
NOTE: With the Enable Beat Grid option on, the
Sync and Auto Tempo functions in ITCH now
behave differently (See Sync Using Beat Grid).
Beat Grid Waveform View
The Beat Grid is placed on top of the waveform
overview. It is displayed as follows:
• A thick white line indicates the beginning of each
Beat Grid Bar.
• Each Beat Grid Bar has the bar number at the top
of the marker.
• The first Beat Marker is called the Downbeat
Marker and is a thick red line on the first beat.
• The Downbeat Beat Marker will be bar number 1.
• Each Beat Grid Bar is divided up into 4 thin line
divisions.
• A thick red line also indicates a manually set Beat
Marker.
Before Creating a Beat Grid
Setting up a Beat Grid relies on the track having
an accurate BPM value calculated, so ITCH can
set the Beat Grid markers on the track’s beats or
transients (See Analyzing Files page 12).
NOTE: The BPM analyzing has been greatly
refined in ITCH 1.7. It is highly recommended
that you force re-analyze your entire library again
using this new analyze calculation. In offline
mode, hold down Ctrl and click the ‘analyze files’
button to force re-analyze all of your files.
Creating a Beat Grid
ITCH will attempt to determine the first transient
(this could be a kick drum or bass note) and use
this to calculate the downbeat Beat Marker.
Once the downbeat Beat Marker is set, ITCH
uses the track's BPM to automatically create a
Beat Grid throughout the track. If the BPM is very
accurate this could be all you need to do. If not,
you may need to adjust the Beat Grid, or place
further Beat Markers to allow for some tempo
variations.
To check if the Beat Grid has calculated the
markers correctly you can skip forwards into 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.
