yeah - I'm finding help files BUT damn...shouldn't be this hard lol - wish Sonar would just be happy w/what I've chosen to be looped!
It shouldn't be that fuxxored based on my experience but as I said... X series dude (and I don't use looping that often).
Does Sonar 8 have a "clip inspector" type setup? In the X series you can select a clip and open the "Clip Inspector". Sometimes plain old recorded audio gets assigned "pitch/tempo/time sig" data right on the clip. This may conflict with the current project but lays dowmant until you turn the clip into a "Groove Clip". Then Sonar tries to force it to those parameters.
Clearing that data BEFORE converting to a Groove Clip solves it because it's just totally undefined. Then you can assign those values after.
Sorry... it's hard to explain and I've only seen it mentioned in theoretical problem examples BUT if there is a similar "Inspector" assigning such paramaters to your raw clips before conversion clearing that crap might be the fix.
And yes... it is unnecessarily complex IMO. Cool... but convoluted.
I could also be totally talking out my arse and not helping at all but if you see a reference to such clips data in the manual take a look OR maybe click on and "inspect" your newly created groove clips and make them conform to what you actually want.
Cheers.
