When using Extract Timing, keep in mind the following:
• It knows nothing about the musical context of the audio.
• It does not know, and cannot figure out, the approximate tempo of the audio,
the feel, or the time signature.
It only knows how to listen for sudden changes in volume. You must guide it with
your own knowledge about the music.
To Extract Timing from Audio Data
1. Select the audio data to be analyzed.
2. Choose Process-Audio-Extract Timing to open the Extract Timing dialog
box.
3. Set the Pulse Analysis parameters as described in the table above, or choose a
preset from the preset field.
4. Click Audition to get visual feedback in the Clips pane, so you can be sure the
pulses are aligned to your liking. If not, readjust the parameters and try
again.
5. Set the Timing Synthesis parameters as described in the table above.
6. Click OK.
The generated events are automatically placed on the Clipboard. You can paste
them to a new track, or use them directly in another command (such as Groove
Quantize).
Convert Pulses to MIDI
Note
Tells SONAR to create a MIDI note event for each pulse that
was found. The Note Velocities parameter lets you select
which velocity will be used
Note Velocities The velocity of generated MIDI notes. You can either select
Vary With Pulse Level to adjust velocity to the dynamic
structure of the original source material, or select Set All To
Same Value to assign each inserted MIDI note a specified
velocity.
