Revert Clip(s) to Original Time Stamp

All audio and MIDI clips in SONAR have a new Original Time property,

which stores the original SMPTE time stamp associated with a clip. The

Original Time clip property is based on absolute time, not tempo. This

allows you to freely re-arrange clips and later revert them back to their

original time.

SONAR automatically assigns the Original Time property during import or

immediately after record. When an audio clip containing a SMPTE time

stamp is imported into SONAR (such as a Broadcast Wave file), the

Original Time field is populated with this time stamp. When opening

previous SONAR projects, existing clips will be populated with their current

time.

Note: The Original Time property can not be edited. If a clip is bounced to a

new clip, the Original Time stamp will not propagate to the new clip.
