AudioSnap (Producer and Studio only)
Synchronizing audio and the project tempo
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. Starting from the beginning of the clip, 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.
Figure 197. Drag beat markers to edit the clip tempo map
The clip’s tempo map is recalculated and the dragged beat marker turns red to indicate it has
been “anchored” to a new transient. An “anchored” beat marker is a marker that has been edited
as opposed to a beat that SONAR detected. To “un-anchor” a beat marker, double-click the
marker.
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” on
page 577.
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” on
page 578 .
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.
