Snapping edits to audio beats
The Snap module in the Control Bar has a Snap to Audio Transients button that allows you to
snap edits in the Clips pane to transient markers in selected audio clips. You can also press
CTRL+SHIFT+F12 to toggle Snap to Audio Transients on/off.
When snapping audio transients, the following rules apply:
• If a Pool exists, audio transients snap to the Pool.
• If a Pool does not exists, audio transients snap to transients in the selected tracks.
• If there are no selected tracks, audio transients snap to transients in the selected clip.
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. In the Control Bar’s Snap module, click the Snap to Audio Transients button (or press
CTRL+SHIFT+F12). Disable Musical Time and all other Snap to Grid options.

3. In this example, we’re using the Inline Piano Roll view: to enable it, assign a MIDI track’s Edit
Filter to Notes. Zoom in enough to see where the edits need to be. Make sure the Snap to
Audio Transients button is enabled in the Control Bar’s Snap module.
