Transients Tab
The Transients tab contains a large waveform display, with a Beat ruler and a horizontal
scroll bar. Markers indicate the position of transients in the file. Typically, transients
correspond to the peaks or most pronounced amplitude changes in a sound’s
waveform. The Transients tab includes controls for the beat division and sensitivity with
which Apple Loops Utility detects transients in the file. You can also listen to the file
using the playback controls to help determine where transients occur.
The Transients tab includes the following controls:
 Transient Division pop-up menu: Sets the beat value at which Apple Loops Utility
detects transients.
 Sensitivity slider: Sets the degree of sensitivity at which Apple Loops Utility
detects transients.
