Use transient markers to edit
You can use transient markers to edit selected areas of an audio file, or the entire file, in the
Audio File Editor. You can also add or move transient markers within audio files. You do all of
these tasks in Transient Editing mode.
Note: When you’re working in Transient Editing mode, the Command-click tool changes its
default value, from the Hand tool to the Pencil tool.
Turn on Transient Editing mode
Do one of the following:
m Choose View > Transient Editing Mode from the Audio File Editor menu bar (or use the Toggle
Transient Editing Mode key command).
m Click the Transient Editing Mode button in the Audio File Editor.
When you turn on Transient Editing mode, the audio file is analyzed for transient events, and all
detected transients are marked in the audio file.
Detected transients
The level of transient detection confidence is based on the clarity of the transients. If an audio
file does not have clear, sharp transients, transients will be detected with a lower level of
confidence. You can display more or fewer transients by using the Plus and Minus (+/−) buttons.
