Snapping edits to audio beats
The Snap to Grid dialog has an Audio Transients check box on the Clips tab that allows you to
snap edits in the Clips pane to transient markers in selected audio clips. You can toggle this check
box on and off by pressing CTRL+ALT+N. The same check box is on the PRV tab of the Snap to
Grid dialog, but the Snap to Transients button does not toggle that check box.
In the following example, you will learn how to snap MIDI notes to audio beats.
To snap to audio transients
1. Select the audio clips whose rhythm you want to snap to.
2. Open the Snap to Grid dialog (press SHIFT+N), and enable the Audio Transients check box on
the Clips tab and/or the PRV Mode tab. Deselect Musical Time and all other options.

Transients check box on the PRV Mode tab of the Snap to Grid dialog is enabled.
