Slip-editing (non-destructive editing)
Arranging and editing
Using slip-editing
SONAR makes it easy to edit audio and MIDI clips by way of prominent clip handles that appear as
your cursor comes close to the edges of clips. The clip handles are easy to see and are equipped
with broad functionality for fade-ins, fade-outs, and crossfades, as well as non-destructive editing of
the beginning and end of clips.
To slip-edit a clip
1. Set an appropriate snap resolution in the Control Bar’s Snap module.
2. Select the Smart tool or Edit tool in the Control Bar.
3. If you are slip editing an audio clip, open the Clip Inspector, select the Groove Clip section and
make sure the Looping check box is unchecked.
4. Move the cursor over the beginning of the clip until the clip handle appears.
