The first time I used AudioSnap, it was on a vocal and it sounded absolutely dreadful - while I was editing it. I aborted that first attempt, thinking something was horribly wrong. But everybody else was loving AS, so I took a leap of faith and went ahead and bounced the track, and was relieved to discover that it then sounded fine. I've since learned to ignore what it sounds like while editing.
It is, however, easy to introduce artifacts with AS if the audio is complex and transients are moved too far. If you find that you need to move a transient more than a quarter note, it's probably better to cut the clip and nudge it rather than stretching it with AudioSnap.

All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
