AudioSnap section
• AudioSnap header bar. Click to show/hide the AudioSnap section.
• Enable. Enables or disables AudioSnap on selected audio clips.
• Average Tempo. Shows the average tempo candidates: original, 0.5x and 2x. SONAR will do
its best to detect the correct average tempo, but a clip can often have multiple potential tempos
(60 BPM, 120 BPM, 240 BPM, etc.). If SONAR is unable to detect a tempo, Average Tempo will
be set to Original, which is the project’s tempo at the location the clip was recorded or imported.
If you change the Average Tempo setting, all clip tempo changes are adjusted to scale.
• Follow Project Tempo. Forces the clip to follow the project’s global tempo map.
• Follow Options. Specifies at which resolution the clip should follow tempo changes when
Follow Project Tempo is selected. The options are as follows:
• Beats
• Measures
• Clip (default)
• Auto-Stretch
• Filter Threshold. Disables AudioSnap transient markers based on their volume. This clears out
unwanted markers to make editing easier. Higher values create a bigger volume threshold, which
disables markers that are fall below that threshold.
• Filter Resolution. The selected Filter Resolution value lets you disable markers based on
their time location. This clears out unwanted markers to make editing easier. Larger values create
a bigger time window, based on musical time values, which preserves markers that are closest to
the displayed musical time value, and disables others.
• Online Render. This choice determines what stretch algorithm is used during real-time
playback. For more information about render modes, see “Algorithms and rendering” on page
646. The options are as follows:
• From Track. This uses the algorithm listed in the Online field in Edit > Preferences >
Project - AudioSnap.
• Groove clip. This mode works faster than Percussion render mode, using less processing
power.
Note: AudioSnap is automatically enabled on a clip if you stretch a transient marker on the clip.
Note: The Follow Project Tempo option only works on clips that are configured to use musical
time (the Time Base property is set to Musical (M:B:T) in the Clip Properties Inspector.
