Editing audio
Bouncing to clips
Individual audio clips in the same track can be combined into a single clip with the Bounce to
Clip(s) command.
To bounce to clips
1. Select the clips to be combined in the Track view.
2. Click the Track view Clips menu and choose Bounce to Clip(s).
The clips are combined into a single clip. Empty space between clips is filled with silence in the new
clip. All clip automation from the source clips is applied to the new clip.
Bouncing AudioSnap and stretched clips
SONAR includes a command to select all AudioSnap and stretched clips. The primary use of this
command is to quickly select all stretched audio clips before you use the Track view Clips > Bounce
to Clip(s) command.
There are two common reasons why you may want to bounce AudioSnap and stretched clips:
• To free up CPU resources during playback.
• In order to save a bundle (.cwb) file, which does not support AudioSnap data.
To select all AudioSnap and stretched clips
On the Edit menu, point to Select and click All AudioSnap/SlipStretched.
Note 1: Like any clips, slip-edited clips can be combined with other clips using the Bounce to
Clip(s) command. When a slip-edited clip is combined with another clip, any slip-edited data
(audio clips or MIDI events that are cropped from view) is overwritten.
Note 2: You control the bit depth of all rendering operations (bouncing, freezing, applying
effects) in Edit > Preferences > File - Audio Data, in the Render Bit Depth field. The default
value of 32 is the best for most situations. See “Bit depths for rendering audio” on page 1187 for
more information.
