The snap point is a marker within an audio event that can be used as a reference position. An event can only have one snap point.

  • To show the snap point, click Editor Display Mode on the toolbar, then choose Show Clips and Events or Show Event.

Depending on the context, the event snap point is set as follows:

  • If you record an audio event, the snap point is set to the next grid position.

  • If you bounce a selection of one or multiple events, the snap point is set to the start of the new event. If there are any existing snap points in the selection that you have set manually, the first one of them on the timeline is used for the new event.

  • If you make offline processing permanent, the snap point is set to the start of the new event. If you set the snap point manually, it maintains its current position.

  • If you export audio, the snap point is set to the start of the new audio file.

You can manually move the snap point to any other relevant position in the audio.

The snap point is used when Snap is activated and you insert a clip from the Sample Editor in the event display. It is also used when you move or copy events in the event display.

In the Sample Editor, you can edit the following snap points:

  • Event Snap Point

    This is shown in the Sample Editor if you open a clip from within the Project window.

  • Clip Snap Point

    This is shown in the Sample Editor if you open a clip from the Pool.

Note

The clip snap point serves as a template for the event snap point. However, it is the event snap point that is taken into account when snapping.

Important

When you set the grid start in the Definition section, the snap point is moved to the grid start.
