Hey Nev!  

 

It can, but its bloody awkward...  

 

I got confused with the audio snap function and the groove clips function.  

 

The easiest one to use is the groove clips affair, and I posted instructions
last week...  

 

If you didn't get them, here they are: 

 

I'm using Sonar 6.21, so I hope you are using at least the same, or above?

 

Remember, this process will only work accurately if your audio/loop/loopz

are exact loopz, I mean that if you were to lay them end to end they would

playback in time...

 

Here goes:

 

1. Go in to the clips frame by pressing ctrl + down arrow.

 

2. Press ALT plus enter, this'll select the audio.

 

 3. Press F4, and arrow to the second option, which is:

"Open the clips properties dialogue for the currently selected clip..."

 

4. You should land in the general tab, for the "name" dialogue box for the

selected audio/clip.

Shift tab once and you should here, quote General Tab quote.

6. Now, either cursor once right, or ctrl tab, and you'll be in the, quote

Audio Stretching Tab quote.

 

7. Tab once, and you'll here, "Groove-clip enable looping, check box not

checked.

If you tab again, or cursor down once, you'll here, "Groove-clips stretch to

project tempo check box not checked etc."

 

8. Check using the space bar, the first option, quote groove-clips enable

looping check box not checked quote, and press enter.

 

9. Now, press ctrl +up arrow to leave the "clips properties" dialogue box,

and you should be good to rock!

 

This will fit your audio to the tracks tempo.

 

Alternatively, if you've got an un-acidized  loop, and you know its actual

tempo/bpm, and you wanna make it 'elastic', in other words, stretch to fit

any tempo, then follow the above procedure, but, when you get to the quote

Audio Stretching Tab quote, check the second option, quote groove-clip

stretch to project tempo quote.  

 

The audio snap function is very powerful, but unless one of the tech heads
at dancing dots can write an explanation of how to actually use it, that
comes within a million miles of being, quote understandable quote, then it
will always be a bloody myth to me...  

grin!

Can we do that? I have never used the audio snap function. Can it do all the
things they say it can do?
