How to use audio snap in 8.3 to change the tempo of an audio file???

Been searching all over the net, I only seem to find how to get the audio to change with the project tempo and in 8.5, I'm using 8.3 so I don't believe I have the same audiosnap box as 8.5...?


Anyone can help me with this???I'm sure it must be pretty simple, but I desperately need to slow this audio about 3-4bpm.
 
Will slowing it down in Sonar maintain the audio's original pitch/key?
 
Thanks

Major thanks for the help there!

Is there any way I can just chop the audio clip and edit individual parts without messing up my whole project by constantly changing the project tempo?

Instead of using audiosnap? Maybe you want to chop the clip and use the Process-Length or Process-Fit to Time command on the individual pieces.

I probably need to understand better what your over all objective was. If you just had one clip and you needed to slow it down a little, you didn't need audiosnap or chopping. You could just use the Process-Length or Process-Fit to Time command on the whole clip. Same if you are fitting a straight tempo clip to a slightly slower straight tempo existing project. If you were fitting a clip into an existing project and the tempos vary too much, then chopping at the audio's various phrase boundaries might be a good first start. But I think Process-Fit to Time might have been an easier way to treat the chopped up pieces. Then ideally, when your clip's beats are "close" to the project's beats, that's when you can use audiosnap to quantize the clip to the project's beats.

Then maybe "Process-Fit to Time" might have been an easier way to treat your chopped up pieces. Then ideally, when your clip's beats are "close" to the project's beats, that's when you can use audiosnap to quantize the clip to the project's beats. [] There is a different way to use audiosnap across the whole clip to coerce the detected transients to line up to your project's beats by moving them by hand. It's more "elegant", but I don't know that it would be easier or more reliable than "chop then fit to time" probably is.

"Process" is a menu. Assuming your project already has measure boundaries where you want them. Let's say you have chopped your clip where it sounds like a measure boundary. So your left-side clip starts at the right measure, but ends too soon or too late in the project. Select that clip, and click on the "Process" menu and select "Fit to Time". Make sure Format is M.B.T. Choose the Event Times option, make sure stretch audio is checked, and enter the new time for the end of the clip. Make it be the measure where the clip should end. "OK". Now it should line up pretty well unless the tempo was crazy changing during that clip. Then slide the right-side clip to begin at that same measure, where it should start, and choose another chop point and repeat the process.
