Additional Snap to Grid settings

To access additional snap settings, go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Snap to Grid (or

right-click the Snap to Grid button ).

The Snap section contains the following settings:

• Snap Intensity. Specify the magnetic strength when snapping, which determines how quickly

moved events are pulled towards the snap grid.

• Magnetic Test. Drag the event to test the current Snap Intensity setting.

• Snap to Nearest Audio Zero Crossings. Automatically snap edited audio clips to the nearest

zero crossing of the waveform (the point at which there is no volume) to minimize glitches that

can happen when waveforms are spliced together.

Bar’s Snap module:

• Markers. Snap to any marker.

• Now Time. Snap to the current Now Time.

• Clips. Snap to the start or end of any clip.
