How do I... (cerate a click/grid from prerecorded tracks)
 

Sorry for the potentially dumb question, but I have a set of live tracks that I'd like to do a *little* editing on.

How do I create a click/grid from one or more of the existing tracks?

Thanks!

Or point me towards a tutorial, I'm sure this stuff is out there, but 15 minutes of googling yielded a bunch of why should you record to a click and how to turn it on... 🙄

You will need to tab to transient and input the bar yourself. It’s a bit of a pain in the back side lol but the more you do it the quicker you will get. Here’s what to do

Tab to the first beat and press ctrl + I and call that say bar 1 tab to the next transient which is bar 2 and press ctrl + I and call that bar 2

Do this till you get to the end

Hope it helps

Hah, ok, was hoping there was a quicker way w beat detective or something.

Thanks!

Yes, beat detective is quicker as long as you use it in sections, not the whole song all at once. Use it for bar|beat generation.

Try manually marking out say, 16 bar chunks. Then use BD on that - depends a little on style of music, quality of players / recording - sometimes you can use larger chunks, sometimes they need to be smaller.

Thanks all, doing it manually actually wasn't too bad. Took me just 5-10 minutes for the song.

Didn't know about the apple + I shortcut before this tho, so alone was worth the price of admission. :-)
