User Guide
Repeat Every X Beats Repeats the loop at the number of beats you specify. If loop infor-
mation is already entered for the audio clip, proper values for Repeat Every X Seconds and
Repeat Every X Beats are entered automatically so that the audio clip loops continuously
at the proper tempo. If you change the Repeat Every X Beats value, Adobe Audition
stretches the file to finish its loop in the specified number of beats. However, you’ll
generally want to select Repeat Every X Beats and enter the number of beats in the Source
Waveform Information area.
Follow Session Tempo Plays the loop at the session’s tempo instead of its native tempo.
For example, if you play a 100 bpm loop in a 120 bpm session, the loop is stretched to
120 bpm. Selecting this option disables the BPM text box. If you don’t select this option,
the loop plays at the tempo specified in the BPM text box.
Lock Position To Tempo Locks the left edge of the audio clip to the bar/beat. If you change
tempo, the audio clip moves so that it starts at the same beat. Normally, you should select
this option if you stretch to tempo. In addition, you can select this option for a one-shot
clip that’s not a loop (like a thunder clap or a gong) if you want it to start in time with other
music that’s aligned to the session’s tempo.
Source Waveform Information Specifies settings for the source waveform. (See “Setting
permanent loop properties in Edit View” on page 200.)
Tempo Matching Specifies settings for matching the tempo of the loop to the rest of the
sound file you’re working with. (See “Setting permanent loop properties in Edit View” on
page 200.)
Transpose Pitch Transposes the pitch of the looped clip by the specified number of half-
steps. Positive numbers raise the pitch, and negative numbers lower it.
Adjust All Loop-enabled Clips That Use This Wave Globally changes the settings for all
clips that reference the same waveform. For example, if you insert the same loop file into
Multitrack View four times, and you then adjust the loop properties on one of its clips, the
other three instances of the loop in the session are adjusted, too.
