Hi there SONARIAN!.
Need your kind help about Sonar Platinum. Is there something i missed out? A setting maybe?
Every time I tried to CUT a clip (i.e started at measure 8:02:060 & end at 8:04:400) First I will select the whole measure starting from 8:01:000 until the end of 1 bar measure then ctrl+X.
Whenever I paste/paste special to other measure (i.e measure 40:01:000) the clip will start at grid absolute time not on the grid relative time. (supposedly the clip will be at 40:02:060) as always since the old Sonar 7.
There is no problem before the KINGSTON update & when you COPY (ctrl+C) the clip will be correctly pasted grid relative.

Anybody kind enough to help or encounter the same problem?
Regards.

Just to provide a sanity check for you, I can reproduce the behavior you are seeing.  Copying a clip not on the grid results in it pasting not on the grid.  However, cutting the same clip results in it being pasted to the grid.  I would suggest submitting a problem report: https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Contact/Problem-Report
 
Hope this helps,

Ive noticed this as well.  Here is how I perform this type of thing - and perhaps theres a step that will help you - 
 
"I want the track 2 guitar from measure 3, to be in track 2 measure 40."
 
Turn snap to grid on - disengage smart snap.  Make sure its set to "To", not "By"
Select "Measure"
split clip at measure 3, and measure 4
Select clip - right click - Control c (copy)
Go to measure 40 - make sure Track 2 is selected - Cntrl V - or CNTRL - ALT - V (Paste Special)
 
This should throw the whole measure in.
 
 
ok - now - for more complex stuff.  Lets say - your clip starts at..say measure 3, halfway between the beat 2 and 3.  If you want the audio to stay relative to the measure, you will have to do this:
 
Snap to grid - "Measure" - just like above
Drag the beginning time of the audio the the beginning and end of the measure
Right Click - Choose "Bounce To Clips"
Now, you can copy and paste the audio where you want inside of a measure.  This works with midi too, 
 
If you have, say, cut parts out of the track, say, a wrong not on beat 1, but the right note on beats 3 and 4, and you want to just use that part and copy and past that through your song, edit the track the way you want,  (cut out beats one and 2), right click, choose "Bounce to Clips", then drag the adio so it fills up the measure with silence - and choose bounce to clips again.  Now you have a full measure with silence on beats 1, 2 - and the guitar on beat 3 - to move around your song.
 
Here's something I've done with gang vocal "Heys" that might come in say... on beat 4 of every 8th measure- .
  1. Record 8 individual tracks of "HEY!"
  2. edit them all so they are nice and clean - 
  3. Select all 8
  4. Bounce to clips
  5. Select all 8
  6. Snap to grid "Measure" "TO"
  7. Drag all 8 so the entire measure is filled with information - "silence untill beat 4"
  8. Drag the right side of the audio so it filles the next 7 measures with Silence right to the barline
  9. Right Click "Bounce to Clips"
  10. Right Click "Ctrl L" - Groove Clip Looping
Now you can drag the part out endlessly and every 8 bars that vocal loop will come in
 
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the long writing. I know all the tricks you wrote & most of it is taking 2-3 more step then it should be. It suppose to be very easy. Highlight a measure (doesn't matter where the clip start), ctrl+C, then go to the new measure on grid then just ctrl+V. DONE!
