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 Loop Explorer view.
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
1. If necessary display the Markers toolbar by selecting View-Toolbars to open
the Toolbars dialog. In the toolbar dialog click Markers and OK.
2. In the Markers toolbar, click the Default Groove Clip Pitch dropdown menu
and select a 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 on Pitch markers, see “Using Pitch Markers in the Track View” on
page 266.
