Introduction: What is Beat Detection? |
| Beat detection is a powerful audio analysis technique that identifies rhythmic elements within an audio file, such as the beats in a song or the pulse in a track. By pinpointing the exact timing of these beats, beat detection can help with tasks like audio synchronization, remixing, and timing adjustments. It’s widely used in applications where timing is essential, including music production, podcast editing, and sound design for video, as it allows for precise editing and manipulation of rhythmic elements. |

 |
| |
| Step 8: Exit the Beat Detection Screen |
| Click Cancel to close the Beat Detection screen. |
| |
| Step 9: View Beat Markers on the Waveform |
| All beats marked with red dotted lines will remain visible on the waveform, with time positions labeled at the bottom of each marker. These markers help you easily locate and manipulate beats within the audio file. |
