step-by-step instructions, see the links at the end of this section.

Clip menu

The Clip menu contains the following commands:

• Save Loop. Opens the Save As dialog box. In the Save As dialog box you can save the current

loop (Groove clip) as a Riff Wave file, which are compatible with ACIDized loops. You can save

Riff Wave files for use with another SONAR project or with ACID.

• Loop On/Off. Groove Clip enable/disable. When enabled, loop clips in the Track view by

dragging the right side of a clip with your mouse. When disabled, you are able to slip-edit the clip.

• Stretch On/Off. Instructs SONAR to stretch or shrink the clip to fit the project’s tempo. The

Beats in Clip and Original BPM parameters are in the Clip Inspector and Loop Properties

dialog box are used to make the change.
