Fast forward & rewing buttons
Hi
It must surely be possible to have the fast forward and rewind buttons set
to move to whatever snap values you have set but I can't see how.
I have looked at the Snap and Nudge setting but that method is time consuming if I have to do that every time. It would seem much quicker to me if they could just follow the projects settings, thereby I would only have to change the snap settings on the control bar and fast forward and rewind would follow automatically.
Hope that makes sense.

Hi, Steve - I think you're saying that you'd like to fast forward or rewind and land on a particular spot in your project, logically landing at the beginning of a measure--is that correct?
If so, what you should do is have Markers set at logical places in your project. If it's a song, Verse 1, Verse 2, Chorus 1 etc, for instance. Then you just use the Markers control to instantly jump to the exact start of those places in your project.

Hi Randy No, what I would like to see is (as I said) the rewind and forward button move to whatever the snap value was set at. At the moment I'm not even sure if moves consistently. I don't use markers and have never really felt the need. To be honest it's not a big thing, it seemed to be a good idea at the time :) I still think it might be useful though. Steve

--Yes, I know you said that, but frankly I can't make any sense out of it. Rewind and forward are just that - you want them to zoom to earlier or later in the project - how would they do that in snap values--? That's why I thought perhaps it would be useful to show you how to zoom even faster to very specific points in a project which are snapped to the grid. That's the only sense I could make out of your "rewind to snap value" question. Randy

Never used Fast Forward and Rewind in Sonar, but I used to use the "go to" functions quite a bit, particularly to navigate to the end or the beginning of a clip when zoomed in all the way - I had those functions tied to key commands.
Haven't worked in Sonar for quite a few months but you might want to check into it - I seem to recall that there was a default shortcut to go to previous/next measure. Not sure it'll go any lower than a full measure though.

I'd never used the rewind/fast forward buttons until today.
I seems pretty useless to me, you can either press and hold and it moves quite slowly, or you can one click and it moves in very small increments.
I had a bass line part that was in triplets, a couple of them sounded like they were slightly out so I wanted the rewind to go back in triplets.
Clicking the mouse along the time line is just as good and probably quicker but it's very inconsistent. When you have the snap to grid set to 8ths it shouldn't land outside of an 8th but it frequently does, my eyesight's not what it was either so I miss a lot.
In that instance I felt it might have been useful to have the rewind button tied in with whatever the snap settings were set to.

Also, in all previous versions of sonar, we had the "now" button that was to the left of the "stop/play/forward buttons. When you click either to the left or right of the "now" button it would take you either back or forward one measure at a time. There seem to be a number of features in X1 that I'm really not keen on.
Definitely a case of, if it ain't broken, leave it alone.
