402 Using Loops
The Loop Construction View
Show/Hide Pitch Envelope
Clicking this button shows or hides the clip’s pitch envelope. Each slice of
the clip has its own segment of the envelope, which you can adjust by
dragging the segment up or down.
Slice Gain
Changes the selected slice’s gain.
Slice Pan
Adjusts the selected slice’s pan. Negative is left and positive is right.
Slice Pitch
Adjusts the selected slice’s pitch. The first field is in half steps, the second
field is in cents.
Slicing Markers
There are two types of slicing markers in the Loop Construction view:
automatic and manual. Automatic markers appear in red and are
automatically generated by SONAR when you loop enable a clip. The one
exception to this is if you import an ACIDized wave file into SONAR.
ACIDized files always appear with manual slicing markers. Manual markers
appear in purple. If you add a marker or move an automatic marker, it turns
purple to show you that it has been edited. For information on editing slicing
markers, see To Edit the Slicing Markers in a Groove Clip.
Audio Scaling
Audio scaling is the increase or decrease in the size (scale) of the
waveform in clip. Audio scaling allows you to make detailed edits by
zooming in on the parts of the waveform closest to the zero crossing
(silence) while preserving the track size. By showing just the quietest parts
of a clip, you can make very precise edits.
The Audio Scale Ruler is located on the far left of the Loop Construction
view.
