You can use beat triggers from a single track, or subset of tracks, to separate a group of tracks.
In the following example, the defined selection is a drum loop consisting of two bars of 5/4. The kick, snare, hi-hat, and overhead microphones are recorded to separate tracks.
Analyzing the loop’s kick drum track, with the detection Resolution set to Beats, Beat Detective places beat triggers at the transients on beats 1 and 4.
Extending the selection to the snare, hi-hat, and overhead microphones tracks, and then performing the separation, results in separated clips in each of the drum tracks at the same location, based on the beat triggers from the kick drum track.
You can also use Collection mode when working with multiple tracks. Collection mode lets you analyze and detect triggers on tracks individually, and if you choose, add only the unique triggers from the current track to the overall collection. For more information, see Detection (Normal) and Collection Mode.
