AudioSnap

Using the AudioSnap palette

• Tracks. When selected, the Online and Offline render mode settings apply to all current and

future clips in the selected tracks.

• Default Settings. When selected, the Online and Offline render mode settings apply to the

Default (track/global) render mode.

• Online. This choice determines what stretch algorithm is used during real-time playback. The

Percussion options works better than the Groove Clip option on percussive material, especially

if the stretching is by more than a few beats per minute. For more information about render

modes, see Algorithms and rendering.

• Offline. This drop-down menu lets you choose the algorithm that is used when you export or

freeze stretched audio. The choices in the drop-down menu are as follows:

• Groove clip. This choice works faster, using less processing power.

• iZotope Radius Mix. This is better for clips containing polyphonic, stereo data.

• iZotope Radius Mix Advanced. This choice is similar to iZotope Radius Mix, but exposes

a Smoothing slider that adjust how much detail to preserve.

• iZotope Radius Solo. This is better for clips containing monophonic, solo instruments.

• Percussion. This is the best choice for percussion sounds.

AudioSnap palette auto load

AutoLoadAudioSnapPalette=<0 or 1>, default = 1

By default, the AudioSnap palette appears automatically whenever you enable AudioSnap on a clip.

If you prefer to never auto-show the AudioSnap palette, you can change this behavior by adding a

variable to the Cakewalk.ini file.

This variable should be set in the [WinCake] section. For example:

[WinCake]

AutoLoadAudioSnapPalette=0

Note: The Online render mode is for preview purposes only during playback. The final audio

quality will be greatly improved after the Offline render mode is applied during mixdown/export.
