• AudioSnap Beats—Select this option if you want AudioSnap transients
to move.
• Audio Clip Start Times—Select this option if you want the beginnings of
audio clips to move.
• Only Notes, Lyrics, and Audio—If you select this option, SONAR will not
modify other events, like controllers.
Options:
• Strength—This value determines how closely SONAR moves the
selected notes to the resolution value, or “grid.” See Strength.
• Swing—Use this value to make groups of even eighth notes (or
whatever note you want to enter in the Resolution field) “swing,” instead
of playing with exact eighth note rhythm. A value of 50 percent, or “50-
50,” produces equal durations for both notes—no swing. A larger value
makes the first note longer, and vice versa. See Swing.
• Window—This value determines whether SONAR quantizes notes that
are far from the quantization points, or leaves them alone. A value of
100 percent quantizes every note. See Window.
• Offset—This value moves the quantization grid forward or backward in
the track, away from the beat boundaries. See Offset.
• Auto XFade Audio Clips—This option becomes available if you enable
the Audio Clip Start Times check box. If you enable this option, and the
process of quantizing audio clips results in overlapping clips, a
crossfade is automatically added to the overlapping area. You specify
the length of the crossfade in the ms field.
