tdehan Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Things don't snap to grid since the recent update. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Are you set to “snap by” instead of “snap to”? I never use “snap by” but occasionally it raises its ugly head. Why; good question... tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.r Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I, otoh, can't live without Snap By, so I will better waiting for confirmation if it's working fine, before I upgrade. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twelvetone Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Really? What do you use it for, if I may ask? When I was a new to - then Sonar - the fact that it is the default on install made me think for a long time snap to grid was broken. Even today I wonder what situations it could find a use.

We're not aware of any snap related issues. Can you be more specific about the nature of your problem? What view are you trying to use and what are you editing?

Personally, I don't use it a lot... but here's the scenario I do use it in. Say I've got an un-quantised MIDI recording, or an audio recording that is in no way snapped to anything. For arguments sake, lets say the start of the clip is 1:04:527. If I want to move it by 1 bar, I'll set snap to be Whole and set it to snap by. Moving it to the next bar gives a start time of 2:04:527. If I'd used snap to, the start time would be 3:01:000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I didn't know this! 👍 In such cases I always did it much more complicated (with cut, set now time, then paste). 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snap By takes care of order in my projects by keeping clips in their relative position on the grid while copying/moving. The way I'm used to keep clips organized in my projects makes them almost never perfectly aligned to bars. Unless it's electronic kick or snare, most of my clips will be slightly off the grid or anywhere in between bars. That's because if I do record live audio, I cut somewhere between the breath and voice or guitar notes, if I do MIDI acoustic drums then I tend to play it live on keys or pads and I never quantize 100%. And so on. That way most of the notes, say kick, fall somewhere around the beats but never exactly on the beat, clips can start a couple ticks before or after the beat. If I used Snap To instead, then it would happen exactly what Mark says to the clips, and their relative position would have got screwed.

reginaldStjohn Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Piano roll view has its own snap settings so it could be that you didn't have the PVR snap enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
