Hello all. I'll give you a quick backstory to get you up to speed. I don't recall what version of Cakewalk I started with but it ran on windows 3.1. I still have one of the first cakewalk pro audio discs laying around somewhere and up until recently I had been operating on Sonar 8.5. A new studio machine build prompted me to step up to the current Producer edition. 
 
I've been doing ok figuring out most of the differences between Producer and my old 8.5 version but this one has me baffled. I've recorded some audio and I wanted to futz with the timing a bit so I enabled audio snap. Now for the life of me, I can't get the cursor out of Audio Snap transient edit mode. I want to move the start point of the clip i.e. slide the blue line, but when I put the cursor there, it has the audio snap transient tool icon over it and nothing I can find can make that go away. I'm stuck. What's the trick?

Choose something other than Transients in the Edit Filter?

Yes, you could just switch the edit filter back to "clips" . . . or select the audio clip, then use "Alt-A" to call up Audio Snap, then click the big blue button to disable Audio Snap for the selected clip . . . then you will be able to edit / move the start point of the clip   i.e. slide the blue line.
