Synchronizing audio and the project tempo
You should make sure a clip’s internal tempo map is correct before using any of the tempo-related
commands in the AudioSnap palette. For details, see Editing a clip’s tempo map.
To sync the project tempo to an audio clip
1. Select the audio clip(s) that has the desired tempo map.
2. Press SHIFT+A to open the AudioSnap palette.
3. Click the Set Project Tempo From Clip button on the AudioSnap palette.
The clip tempo map is copied to the project tempo map so the tempo maps are identical.
If you need to align the project tempo with freely played MIDI notes, see To sync the project
tempo to freely played MIDI.
To sync an audio clip to the project tempo

2. Press SHIFT+A to open the AudioSnap palette.
3. Click the Clip Follows Project Tempo button on the AudioSnap palette.
The clip is synchronized to the project’s tempo map.
To copy the project tempo to an audio clip’s tempo map
1. Configure the project’s tempo as desired (either specity the tempo manually, or extract the tempo
from another audio clip by using the Set Project Tempo from Clip button on the AudioSnap
palette).
1. Select the audio clip(s) that you want to follow the project tempo.
2. Press SHIFT+A to open the AudioSnap palette.
3. Click the Set Clip Tempo From Project button on the AudioSnap palette.
Note: If multiple audio clips have their Clip Timebase property set to Musical, changing the
project tempo will affect the relative positions of the audio clips. When using the Set Project
Tempo from Clip command, SONAR will offer to convert the timebase to Absolute.
Note: If the audio clip does not play back at the expected tempo, the clip might not have an
accurate internal tempo map. For details about editing a clip’s tempo map, see Editing a clip’s
tempo map.
