Synchronizing audio and the project tempo
AudioSnap
The clip’s tempo map is recalculated.
If a beat marker is dragged to a transient marker that is already assigned to a later beat marker,
SONAR will automatically re-number all subsequent beat markers accordingly.
A beat marker cannot be dragged to an earlier transient marker if that transient is already
assigned to a beat marker.

To audition an audio clip when editing the clip tempo map
When you are editing a clip’s tempo map, you may frequently need to audition the audio to make
sure you are positioning the beat markers at the correct transients.
1. Right-click the clip tempo map (above the clip) where you want to audition the clip, and keep the
right mouse button pressed.
SONAR creates a one-measure selection, starting from one measure before the position clicked.
The selected time will gradually increase the longer you keep the mouse button pressed.
2. Release the right mouse button.
SONAR auditions the selection.

Using the Transient tool
Editing transient markers
Note 1: Beat markers can only be dragged to active transient markers. If you need to drag a
beat marker to a position that doesn’t have a corresponding transient marker, first insert a new
transient marker at the desired position. For details, see To insert a new transient marker.
You can also use the Merge and Lock Markers command to merge transient markers from other
tracks. This is useful, for example, if one track contains beats 1 and 3 and another track contains
beats 2 and 4. For details, see
To copy transient markers from one track to another track .
Note 2: If you hold down the CTRL key when you drag a beat marker to the left, the original
beat marker and all subsequent beat markers will be renumbered accordingly.
If you hold down the CTRL key when you drag a beat marker to the right, all subsequent beat markers
will be moved by the same number of transient markers.
Tip: You can also enable/disable Edit clip tempo map from the Transient tool context menu.
