Which of the following is NOT a Beat Detective function?

• A. Extracting a tempo map from a recorded audio or MIDI performance
• B. Create groove templates
• C. Conform audio to a tempo map
• D. Add reverb to audio

Answer: (D)

Beat Detective is all about timing and groove—analyzing a performance to map its tempo, extracting how the groove sits, and making audio fit a chosen tempo map. It can extract a tempo map from a recorded performance, so the project knows how tempo changes over time. It can create groove templates that capture the feel or timing of a performance to apply to other regions. It can also conform audio to a tempo map by aligning hits with the grid and adjusting timing to match the tempo changes. Adding reverb is an effect you apply during mixing, not a function of Beat Detective. Reverb changes the sound’s space and decay, rather than aligning timing, so it isn’t something Beat Detective does.
