Working with Linked Clips
Arranging
the loop region
• If punch recording is enabled, click to the right of the Punch In marker to
select the punch region
Tip: If you press Tab or right-click while holding down the left mouse button
over the markers, you can toggle through which of the overlaid markers
you'd like to move.
For example, if the Now Time marker, a regular Marker, a Loop point, and a
Punch point are all at measure 5, pressing Tab (while holding down the left
mouse button) toggles through T (Now Time), M (regular), L (Loop), and P
(Punch). If you want to change the regular marker, simply drag the mouse
when M is displayed; if you want to adjust the position of the Loop point, tab
through to L, and so on.
Working with Linked Clips
SONAR makes it easy to repeat a pattern over and over using a feature
called linked clips. Linked clips always have the same contents, name,
and display color. Any change you make to the internal contents of one of
the clips, such as adding or editing notes or effects, automatically applies to
all of them. Any number of clips may be linked with each other.
To create linked clips, copy the clips and when pasting, check the linked
clips option in the Paste dialog box or the Drag and Drop Options dialog
box. Linked clips are displayed with a dotted border, so they are easy to
spot. You can also identify linked clips using the Clip Properties dialog box
or the Select All Siblings (available in the Clips pane popup menu)
command.You can easily unlink linked clips, and then edit them individually.
You have two options when unlinking linked clips:
Option… How it works…
New linked group The clips you selected will still be
linked to each other, but won’t be
linked to any clips that are not selected
Independent Every selected clip will be completely
