Extracting Timing
The Extract Timing command creates MIDI notes and (optionally)
tempo changes based on rhythmic peaks in audio.
The Extract Timing command Þrst analyzes the audio for pulses,
sudden percussive changes in volume. Then, from each pulseÕs position
and intensity, Extract Timing synthesizes new timing information in
the form of note events or tempo changes.
This command offers exciting ways to get your MIDI data to groove
along with audio rhythm tracks. For example, using Extract Timing
you can:
¥ Generate MIDI notes that play along with a rhythm, retaining all
the accents in the rhythm track
¥ Create templates for the Edit-Groove Quantize command, so that
your MIDI tracks play with the same feel as your audio rhythm
track
