Just filled a tech form. Hope we get an answer soon.

They really didn't test much of anything did they?

 
Stuff like this really makes you wonder. I'm thinking it must have been on their list, and just didn't make the grade for high priority fixes before the promised release date. That would explain why they already had stuff fixed for X1a. Some of it was probably still being verified.
 

'Apologize for the inconvenience'?!! C'mon, this is a lot more than an inconvenience! It MUST get fixed in the first patch or, or, or, or....something bad. How did they break it anyway? Surely it's the same as 8.5? Anyway, please make this a priority Cake, otherwise I might just have to tell my clients they need to start playing in time 

I'm bouncing this thread as quantising audio still does not work.
As I only had 8.5.3 for a short while I hadn't tried Audiosnap 2. I've just tried AS2 in 8.5.3 to see how that works - and it works fine - just like it should.
Trying the exact same thing in X1 and the audio just sits there. I can drag the transients individually to quantise them but what's the point in that? 

Surely Audiosnap is a major feature of Sonar?

Grum.

Fernando - It bloody well is!
"You can quantise audio as easy as midi" - it's a big claim but it isn't true.

I'm also pee'd off that reducing X1 and then restoring it requires the multidock to be restored separately on my second monitor and the control panel still disappears just leaving the "Now Time".

Grum

Ha..Ha .. I know it is, Grumbleweed ... I was being sarcastic. Since I am not perfect, I need it badly too.

Fernando - I took it the right way but as I'm incapable of using quotes on this forum (like many others) I couldn't express myself very well 
I haven't used audiosnap that much (Audiosnap 1 was dreadfully complicated) but I would if it worked like 8.5.3. 

Grum.

The only thing I can figure is that this must be a complicated fix.  I don't believe that this could have gotten out the door on the release to manufacturing without someone logging it.  And then a fix not make it in the first update makes me wonder if fixing it breaks some other part of the program.  This is a major part of the feature set and to have it mostly broken is serious.

From what I understand there is a gob of Audiosnap bugs that are in process of being addressed.

Well technically speaking even Cakewalk admitted that Cakewalk never met Cakewalk's expectation for AudioSnap in v8, or v8.5... they kept saying it was a quirky stepping stone transitional implementation.

Right now, I'd be satisfied with quirky stepping stone status instead of hardly works at all status.

You can split clips at transients and then quantize the new clips but that's about all I've been able to get to work.

What you can do is buy Pro Tools 9 and export the wav file from SONAR.

Then use Beat Detective to do all the audio snapping you need.

Then Export from Pro Tools and bring it back in to SONAR.

I've been advised that if my DAW doesn't work, for me, that I should get more DAWs and stop complaining.

So, for now, this seems to be a good work around.

Good Luck.

ouch!!!

Ha ha.
 
I wonder if the new "transient everything" method of working (the audio transients edit filter) is too much for the program to cope with.

Yes, you can, and further more you can turn off  transient markers in any clip and refer to some other clip and create a series of transients from several clips. I'm just learning this so there may be some subtle extra feature that I don't know I don't have... please double check first before you buy.

The place where this is an obvious benefit is on a multi tracked drum kit where perhaps the kick is 1 and the snare is on 2 etc.

This way you use one "groove" to adjust all the tracks you want which provides phase coherency throughout all tracks. FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!

I was pretty much speechless when I realized it did all this and then suddenly understood that Audio Snap was modeled after this but never even came close in it's sophistication of both imagination and implementation.

If Audio Snap worked in X1 I might say that it seems like it was designed from bad spy photos from Pro Tools... kind of like how the USSR used to make submarines that didn't work quite the same as the ones whose designs they had copied.

Audio Snap doesn't work in X1 so a comparison is sort of a non issue.

I heard enough. 
I'll purchase PT9 and learn to use it as AudioSnap replacement. 

If input monitoring can be tweaked off during recording I could use it as primary DAW, too.
