356 Arranging and editing

Markers and the snap grid

select the desired check boxes in the Landmarks section. SONAR will snap to landmarks on

tracks/lanes that are currently visible in the Clips pane.

2. Go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Snap to Grid.

3. If you want to change the magnetic snap strength, or turn off magnetic snap, adjust the Snap

Intensity slider.

4. If you want to automatically snap edited audio clips to the nearest zero crossing of the waveform

(the point at which there is no volume, to minimize the glitches that can happen when waveforms

are spliced together) select the Snap to Nearest Audio Zero Crossings check box.

5. Click OK to close the dialog box.

All time selections and drag-and-drop editing operations use the new snap grid resolution(s).

To use a secondary Snap to Grid resolution

By default, SONAR uses the global Snap to Grid settings when snap is enabled. However, you can

also specify a secondary Snap to Grid resolution that is in effect when holding down the N key.

To assign the secondary Snap to Grid settings, hold down the N key while selecting the desired snap

settings in the Control Bar’s Snap module.

To momentarily apply the secondary Snap to Grid resolution, hold down the N key while dragging or

editing data that is snapping to the grid. When the N key is released, the main global snap settings

are restored.

To swap the primary and secondary Snap to Grid settings, press CTRL+SHIFT+N.
