The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe Audition 2.0

Chapter 6: Looping Content

Introduction to Looping

Audition has the ability to find and calculate the beat and tempo of any track allowing you to splice up and loop sections of audio to create new songs. Looped audio can be heard in many different forms of music, including Rock, Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B and contemporary to name a few. As well as being able to start from scratch and building your own loops, Audition 2.0 comes complete with over 5000 royalty free Loopology drum beats, guitar, bass and synth parts already broken up ready for you to use and manipulate within your own project. Also, included are musical Beds and Sessions to help get you started.
