Using the Transient tool
At the heart of AudioSnap are transient markers. SONAR automatically detects transients for all
audio clips in your project. The Transient tool lets you exclusively edit transient markers without
worrying about accidentally editing clips or automation data.
Although you can also edit transient markers with the Select tool and Free Edit tool, this chapter
focuses on the Transient tool since it is the easiest way to edit transient markers.
To enable the Transient tool
• Click the Transient Tool button in the Track View toolbar.
All audio clips show transient markers and the AudioSnap palette appears.
If you select another tool, transient markers will no longer be visible and the AudioSnap palette
closes.
Note: Displaying transient markers does not mean that AudioSnap is enabled. AudioSnap is
only active on a clip when at least one transient marker has been stretched.
