Synchronizing audio and the project tempo
Figure 68. You can edit the internal tempo map of each audio clip
The following controls are available when editing a clip’s tempo map:
• Beat markers. Each detected beat has a corresponding beat marker. You can remap a beat
marker by dragging the marker to any active transient marker.
• Average Tempo. This list shows the average tempo candidates: original, 0.5x and 2x. SONAR
will do its best to detect the correct average tempo, but a clip can often have multiple potential
tempos (60 BPM, 120 BPM, 240 BPM, etc.). If you change the Average Tempo setting, all clip
tempo changes are adjusted to scale.
• Beats per measure. This list lets you specify the number of beats per measure. The value
range is 2 to 14, and the default value is 4.
To edit a clip’s tempo map
1. Select the clip or clips you want to edit.
2. Click the Edit clip tempo map button on the AudioSnap palette.
A simple tempo map guide appears above the clip, indicating where SONAR has mapped the
bars/beats of the clip.
3. If the Average Tempo list does not show the correct tempo, select the correct tempo.
4. If the Beats per measure box does not show the correct number of beats, specify the correct
number of beats per measure.
5. Inspect the beat markers above the clip. If any beat marker is mapped to the wrong transient,
drag the beat marker to the correct transient.
