Using the AudioSnap palette
AudioSnap (Producer and Studio only)
• Online. This choice determines what stretch algorithm is used during real-time playback. The
Percussion options works better than the Groove Clip option on percussive material, especially
if the stretching is by more than a few beats per minute. For more information about render
modes, see “Algorithms and rendering” on page 692.
• Offline. This drop-down menu lets you choose the algorithm that is used when you export or
freeze stretched audio. The choices in the drop-down menu are as follows:
• Groove clip. This choice works faster, using less processing power.
• iZotope Radius Mix. This is better for clips containing polyphonic, stereo data.
• iZotope Radius Mix Advanced. This choice is similar to iZotope Radius Mix, but exposes
a Smoothing slider that adjust how much detail to preserve.
• iZotope Radius Solo. This is better for clips containing monophonic, solo instruments.
• Percussion. This is the best choice for percussion sounds.
AudioSnap palette auto load
AutoLoadAudioSnapPalette=<0 or 1>, default = 1
By default, the AudioSnap palette appears automatically whenever you enable AudioSnap on a clip.
If you prefer to never auto-show the AudioSnap palette, you can change this behavior by adding a
variable to the Cakewalk.ini file.
This variable should be set in the [WinCake] section. For example:
[WinCake]
AutoLoadAudioSnapPalette=0

Note: The Online render mode is for preview purposes only during playback. The final audio
quality will be greatly improved after the Offline render mode is applied during mixdown/export.
