Transients Pane

The Transients pane contains a large waveform display, with a Beat ruler and a

horizontal scroll bar. Markers indicate the position of transients in the file. Typically,

transients correspond to the widest parts of a sound’s waveform. The Transients pane

includes controls for the beat division and transient detection sensitivity. You can also

listen to the file (using the playback controls) to determine where transients occur.

The Transients pane includes the following controls:

• Transient Division pop-up menu: Sets the beat value used for transient detection by

the Apple Loops Utility. Choosing a larger beat value results in fewer transients being

detected. Choosing a smaller beat value can also result in fewer transients being

detected, if they are present in the audio recorded in the file.

• Sensitivity slider: Sets the degree of sensitivity for transient detection. When you

increase the sensitivity of transient detection, the Apple Loops Utility considers

points of higher amplitude in the waveform as transients, regardless of whether or

not they occur at a beat value.

When you open a file in the Apple Loops Utility, it looks for transients at every 16th

note position, based on the file’s tempo and number of beats tags. You can change the

beat value used for transient detection via the Transient Division pop-up menu.

To display a file in the Transients pane:

Select the file in the Assets drawer, then click the Transients tab.

Note: The Transients window can only display one file at a time. If multiple files are

selected, no waveform is displayed in the window.

The waveform display in the Transients pane displays both the transients detected by

the Apple Loops Utility and transients you add to the file. You can add transients and

move existing transients in the Transients pane.

To add a new transient:

Click in the darker area above the Beat ruler in the waveform display.

To move a transient marker:

Drag the marker by its handle in the area above the Beat ruler.

To remove a transient, do one of the following:

Click the transient’s handle in the area above the Beat ruler, then press the Delete key.

Drag the transient out of the area above the Beat ruler.

Assets Drawer

The Assets drawer lists the files open in the Apple Loops Utility. The drawer contains a

Name column that lists the name of each open file, and a Changes column, which

indicates any files that you have altered.
