Creating Map from Raw Drum Tracks?

[Moog1970]

Dear user group,

Hope you can help me solve a problem.
A friend brought me some drum tracks he had recorded in another studio and not in Pro Tools.

I have the aiff files for a printed click, kick, snare, and overhead.

I have imported all into a session.

I would like to somehow set this up so that I can work in grid mode.

Is there a way to have pro tools "listen" to the printed click and then make a map so that I can start tightening things up?

I have heard beat detecive might be of some help.

What would be the step by step of how I can achieve this?

Thanks for your support.

You need to use "Identify Beat." I believe the shortcut is just cmd + i but don't quote me on that I haven't used it in a while. If you have the click track, just use identify beat on that to set a few measures and the rest should fall into place just fine.

Either Identify Beat or use Beat Detective on the (audio) click track to generate a tempo map.
