It slices! It dices! And it makes your beats groove, too. It's Beat
Detective, the extremely powerful yet underused beat slicing tool that
is part of Pro Tools. In this two and a half hour course, Pro Tools
master Scott Freiman will teach you everything you need to know to
become a Beat Detective expert.

Most people think that Beat Detective is a tool for working with loops,
but that doesn't even scratch the surface of what Beat Detective can
really do. Beat Detective allows you to extract tempo changes from
almost any audio, as well as MIDI tracks, or you can align your tracks
to the session tempo. You can quantize your audio using specific grooves
and even use Beat Detective to create your own grooves. Beat Detective
helps you tighten up performances, match loops to each other, and create
remixes. It can even help in smoothing post production edits when working
with video.

Scott Freiman walks you through detailed examples of each of these uses
for Beat Detective, as well as many other examples. Whether you're a new
Pro Tools user or a seasoned veteran, you are bound to pick up some
powerful techniques from this course.
