“Batch Tagging”
You can tag multiple files at the same time:
• Select multiple in files in the Assets drawer (sh+click or com+click)
• The “Batch Checkbox” to the left of each tag becomes active:
o A checked box means that all the selected files have the same tag value
o A non-checked box means that the selected files have different tag
values
• Check an un-checked box will set the tag value for all selected files
• The menu command “
Tagging > Batch > All”
checks all the checkboxes
• The menu command “
Tagging > Batch > None”
unchecks all the checkboxes
• Keep in mind that the tag setting stays in RAM until you save the files
2) Transients Pane:
The transient markers enabling the loop to be played back in different tempi without changing its pitch or tonality, aka
tempo matching. The position of the transient markers determines how good the tempo matching works.
When you add an audio file to the Apple Loop Utility, it analyzes the audio content and sets the transient marker
automatically. The Utility is pretty good at that and most of the time you don’t have to change marker. When you play
back the loop in different tempi and you feel that the tempo matching is not perfectly working, then you can go into
Transients view and optimize the transient markers.
Automatic Marker Placement:
The two controls above the marker area
determines the automatic placement of the
markers:
Transient Division:
Sets the markers according to the
selected division value (default 1/16)
Sensitivity:
Adjusts the sensitivity how ALU
detects the beats in the waveform.
(default: least sensitive). In the left
position it sets only the division
markers. Moving to the right (more
sensitive) adds sets the marker more
precisely and adds more marker if
needed.
Manual Marker Placement:
You can manually adjust the marker if you feel
that the automatic placement is not accurate.
NOTE: selecting any of the two automatic
controls above will undo all the manual
marker edits!
Marker:
Move
: the marker by click-dragging
them in the marker area
Remove
the marker by click-dragging
them outside the marker area
Add
marker by clicking on the marker
area
SPL & Scrollbar
The little yellow triangle below the marker area indicating the play and the “zoom-able” Scrollbar lets you
navigate through the waveform display.
Marker Guidelines:
• Marker should be places on the beginning and end of notes
• Have at least a marker every quarter note in sustained notes or chords
• Use the fewest number of transient to avoid distortion
