Using Slip-editing

SONAR makes it easy to edit audio and MIDI clips by way of prominent clip handles that appear as

your cursor comes close to the edges of clips. The clip handles are easy to see and are equipped

with broad functionality for fade-ins, fade-outs, and crossfades, as well as non-destructive editing of

the beginning and end of clips.

To Slip-edit a Clip

1. Set the Snap to Grid to an appropriate interval.

2. If you’re slip editing an audio clip, right-click the clip to open the Clip Properties dialog. Select the

Audio Stretching tab, make sure the Enable Looping check box is unchecked, and click OK.

3. Move the cursor over the beginning of the clip until the clip handle appears.
