***   Solved?***
I still don't know why it's creating all these markers.  If I figure it out I'll add the details.  But today when I tried again to convert transients to midi, I checked the box in settings to make the velocities dependent on the amplitude of the transients (I thought I did that yesterday too).   All the extra transients DID make a midi note, but it's velocity is ZERO!!!   It's not nice to look at, but it does work.  The newest post in this thread offers a tip worth looking into, but I wonder if it's a bug that results whe you 1- "delete silence", 2- "bounce to clips" all the little clips thus created, then 3- enable ausiosnap on this clip.
 
(here starts the original post)
i deleted everything but the actual tom hits in a tom track and then bounced all the little clips to a single clip.  When i turned on audiosnap, transient markers appeared for every eighth note of the project regardless of the threshold setting and regardless of the content of the clip.  The actual wave transients did get recognized, but the "silence" is filled with evenly spaced markers that show up when I export as midi.   ???
 
 

Try selecting Audio Transients from the Edit Filter drop down menu then
Right Click > Pool > Deselect Add MBT

What edit filter drop down menu are you talking about?
and where am i right clicking to "Pool", etc?
I don't see any of this stuff on my audiosnap UI
 
thank you.
On my laptop, it doesn't do this.
 
A thought- i have other drum tracks quantized in the project (using audiosnap).   could that be causing it?

the Edit Filter, the one beneath the track name that defaults to displaying Clips, but houses options to view automation and transients. 
 
right click the clip itself and deselect any highlighted options from the Pool submenu.

The edit filter is the one labelled "Clips" in this screenshot.
 
If you can't see it, click the Track Control Manager Button (the one that say "All") and select "All"
 

Audiosnap will tend to place superfluous "User" markers on quarter note beats if there's no audio transient there and/or if the detected tempo in the clip map is radically different from the project tempo. You should make sure the clip map tempo is roughly correct (whether it matches the project tempo or not), and then right-click the clip, Select Markers > User, and delete them. Binding a key combo like Ctrl+Delete to Delete Marker will help by allowing you to hold the keybinding down until they're all gone. Otherwise, it only deletes one at a time.
