Editing multiple tracks with Audiosnap.. is there a way to...

Hi guys, still running X2 Producer (yeah, I'm so retro!) though downloading '3 as I type. However, I think this question will remain relevant:
 
I am editing some multiple drum tracks as well as guitar tracks (3 mics), and I would like to use Audiosnap to detect transients and then chop the entire performance up into single hits. However, Audiosnap treats each audio clip independently, thus you end up with a bunch of drum tracks (kick, snare, overheads etc) all chopped at slightly different points, depending on the transient attack of that clip. If you then quantize it becomes a phasey, flammy mess.
 
I would like to, for instance, use the kick and snare tracks as "parent" tracks, and make Audiosnap only use their transients as split points for all the other drum tracks too. Same with guitar where I want the close mics to determine where all the tracks are chopped.
 
Anyone have any idea if this is possible?
 
Right now I have resorted to TAB-To-Transient and Split, but that is a manual action and takes forever to do..
 
Any thoughtses?

Wow, thanks FBB. I tried it now - where do I find "Merge and lock Markers"?

Great stuff Karl.
 
Don't suppose you fancy relocating to Bristol?

So... all works well until I split the clips, then: Out Of Memory Error.... hmpff. Tried 5 times, even deleting all the other tracks in VSTs in the mix.

Can't say I've seen an out of memory error, although if there's a lot of tracks and it's a long project it does take it's time. How much memory do you have, I've got 8 Gig on my main system?
 
 

I'm no expert but I don't think Sonar x32 can address all the memory. As I understand it that's one of the limitations of x32 versions.
 
I'm running x64 all round so that might be the reason I can and you can't. I'm sure someone who knows more will correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure but maybe increasing your buffers will free up some memory. Just a thought. Also if you are trying to do what I think you are trying to do the CakeTV webinar on drum production explains using audio snap across multiple tracks. I've even taken it a step further for fixing tempo across a full live band by inserting transients on the non drum tracks. It works but gets definitely gets glitchy. I'm assuming it is a very resource intensive process.
