Copying Notes from the Forum

To get the tempo map aligned to audio, Control + M opens a dialog to set the measure/beat at the now time.

Every time I wipe my laptop drive and reinstall from an image I always create a "Sonar" bookmarks folder in Firefox. If there is something that is particularly useful I bookmark it into that folder. Before I wipe the drive again I export and backup all the bookmarks to an external drive.
 
Ideally I would import the backups on to the fresh Win/FF install but I never seem to BUT I do still have all those backups saved. One day I will sit down, import all those backups and sort them all into a master file.
 
I have a ton of other music and computer related bookmarks as well. One day I will create a master file of everything I've collected over the years (articles, vids, tuts, useful sites, etc) and maybe release it to the forum.
 
I also have an ever growing master folder where I store all all my local tuts, manuals, vids and personal notes (I use notepad instead of other text editors because I want raw text for various reasons). That continually gets updated and is my main go to if I need to figure something out or have time to do an in depth study of something (in the latter case I create or update my note files on the subject).
 
It is still a little chaotic but I've been refining this system for the past few years and it is getting easier and easier to go back and reference it all.
 
PS: And I found when I make notes on vid tuts or specific manuals I keep them in the same folder as the actual material. I did try keeping it all in one big document but that got WAY too crazy WAY too fast. One main folder with subdirectories was way easier to manage/edit, navigate and backup.

every post has a field 'Permalink' which gives you an address for that specific post. It goes like this

Keep a word doc and add the permalinks with a small note.
Have a look at Craig's 52 top posts in my Onedrive. its a great start for tips.

Yes. The permalink thingie is your friend. Bookmarks a cool thread but goes directly to the coolest post of said cool thread... or in some cases the only cool post in an otherwise suxxorated thread.

Usually if you get close at all someone else will have used the same terms in a related thread, and you'll either find what you want or find more/better terms to search.
 
If you Google the key words from your initial post against the forum URL, you'll find many threads on using Set Measure/Beat or Audiosnap to align the timeline to audio.

That assumes that I am capable of coming with a valid search term for whatever it is I am clueless about!

THIS ^^^^^^^

I keep Notepad pinned to my Task Bar, and it is a quick copy/paste and save, to add it to a folder of tips I have created for Sonar Tips.
 
I usually name the text file with what aspect of Sonar the tip has to do with, and that makes it pretty easy to find general areas of things that might be useful for a project.
 
In addition, from the search box at the top right of a Windows Explorer window, I can type in search terms, and it will search in the folder I have navigated to in Windows Explorer. making it pretty easy to find things I think I made a tips document about.

FSF?

I make sure to take daily snapshots of every page of the FSF due to the rampant editing. It is very time consuming but I figure one day it will be useful to the authorities in the inevitable trial. I could also sell it to the surrounding media circus for big bucks.
 
Beepster gonna get PAAAAAID, ya'll!

That would be the one. It is Wash rinse repeat....

+1 for OneNote. It's extremely easy to grab, clip, organize and search for stuff.

Hehe... Some of my posts are future notes to myself when I hit them a second time.

(Shhhh....)

I have a tutorial folder full of pages I have saved as virtual prints(.xps),
organized by topic...
When I run across something interesting I just hit print.
I am a horrible(2-finger) typist.
