Loop Construction view
Slicing markers
There are two types of slicing markers in the Loop Construction view: automatic and manual.
Automatic markers appear in red and are automatically generated by SONAR when you loop enable
a clip. The one exception to this is if you import an ACIDized wave file into SONAR. ACIDized files
always appear with manual slicing markers. Manual markers appear in purple. If you add a marker
or move an automatic marker, it turns purple to show you that it has been edited. For information on
editing slicing markers, see “To edit the slicing markers in a Groove Clip” on page 710.
Beat markers
Beat Markers mark where the beats fall in your clip. There are as many beat markers as there are
beats in a clip.
Audio scaling
Audio scaling is the increase or decrease in the size (scale) of the waveform in clip. Audio scaling
allows you to make detailed edits by zooming in on the parts of the waveform closest to the zero
crossing (silence) while preserving the track size. By showing just the quietest parts of a clip, you
can make very precise edits.
The Audio Scale Ruler is located on the far left of the Loop Construction view.
