Promoting Beat Triggers

To ensure that important beat triggers do not disappear when lowering the Sensitivity, you can promote them. This is useful if a selection has numerous false triggers (too many to bother deleting) at a Sensitivity level where crucial, necessary beat triggers are also displayed. If lowering the Sensitivity and the needed triggers to disappear, simply promote them first.

To promote a beat trigger:

1 Raise the Sensitivity until the transient is detected and a beat trigger appears.

2 Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac) the beat trigger to promote it.

3 If necessary, repeat steps 1–2 to promote additional beat triggers.

4 Lower the Sensitivity to a value where the false triggers disappear.

Once beat triggers are promoted, they will only disappear if the Sensitivity value is set to 0%. To demote all beat triggers in the selection—returning them to their original state—click the Analyze button.
