10 Do one of the following:
• In the Detection (Collection Mode) sec-
tion, click Add Unique Triggers to add only
the unique triggers from the track to the col-
lection.
• Click Add All to add all triggers to the col-
lection.
• Click Clear All to clear all triggers from the
collection.
Each new set of triggers added to the collection
appears in a different color. If successive triggers
in the collection are located closely together (for
example, because of microphone leakage), Beat
Detective keeps only the earlier triggers (see
Figure 28).
11 Repeat steps 7–10 for each additional track
you are analyzing.
The beat triggers stored in the Collection mode
are saved with sessions. Therefore, when a ses-
sion is opened later, the previous collection ma-
terial is still there (until it is cleared).
12 Once the desired beat triggers have been
added to the collection, you can use them to
generate Bar|Beat Markers or groove template, or
separate regions. However, this must be done
from the Collection Mode section (when the
triggers are displayed in multiple colors).
To separate regions across multiple tracks,
make sure to extend the selection to any ad-
ditional tracks before separating.
