When creating music for any production, you are usually requiered to deliver it with a "Two Seconds Beep" which is basically a one frame long 1 khz beep that is heard exactly two secs before picture start. This is used by the mixing engineer and video houses to make sure the music you sent, is aligned perfectly to picture or whatever... As we are working with Bars and Beats as a grid, it isn't alway simple to aling this beep EXACTLY 2 secs before any event. The main reason is that if you generate the beep using a synth, its position will change if you change the tempo etc... I work in production all day and here is the trick I have devised to make this job super easy:
I created an audio snippet exactly two seconds long, at the beginning of whitch a 1khz beep is heard. I keep this snippet in a place that I can access through the Sonar Browser. Since it is an audio clip, its legnth will not be dependant on tempo, you get this? With this little snippet of sound, (it can even be a low resolution MP3) the task of generating a two sec beep becomes childs play. What I do is I just work freely without even thinking about the synch beep, and once the music is finished, I just drop the 2 sec beep audio file on a track and slide it around until the end of it alings with whatever event I choose (picture start or first note of the music if it starts at frame one), and bingo I have a two second beep! Another way to do this is to aling the beep snippet at the beguinnig of the picture and then use the nudge fonction (Numeric Pad) and set the nudge amount to one second and nudge it twice to the left... Takes 10 seconds (I'm a genius)
 
How to create the two sec Beep audio File:
 
Create a 60 bpm session. At 60 BPM, each quarter note is exaxctly one second.
Insert Dropzone synth on a track.
In DropZone's sound library look for Multisamples/Wavetables/Sine, and load it. DropZone's sine wave is great because it does not have a decay...
Enable the Pro Channel EQ in expanded mode
Play your Sine wave and look at the EQ, you will see the frequency of the tone you are generating 
You will see that if you play a B and pitch bend it a little you will be exactly 1khz
Record a very short note (very short) and quantize it at the the beginning of any measure
Select a two beat region in grid mode, starting at the beginning of the measure that you played your beep in, and export the audio file
that's it...
Keep the file somewhere and remember where it is, you will be proud as I am to aling your two beep effortlessly
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

It's the first "Monday's Tip of the Week"! VERY cool!! (But before you apply to take over my "Friday's Tip of the Week" gig, be aware it doesn't pay anything )
 
What's more, you gave a bonus tip and also answered the question in this thread. Well played, sir...well played!  The gift to "us guyz" is appreciated.

Haha do not worry, your tip of the week job is safe, from me! This tip was my life long contribution to the inlightment of mankind. I am just relieved some one didn't show up saying my trick is usless because so and so..  :P

Nice Thanks!

Good tip!
 
A group I collab with on occasion uses a sync tone for audio projects.  What has worked for us is to have the tone start on beat one two measures before the first beat of the tune.  The length or freq of the tone doesn't matter as long as the attack is zero.  We start out with a tone file shared in our track repository.
 
The track with the sync tone is included in any individual track renders, so regardless of where a part comes in, the track always start at that point.  Then any of us can download the tracks, import into any DAW, make sure the leading edge of the tracks line up & rock and roll!

This would make me proud :) Checked out your stuff BTW its great!
 

Thanks a lot but most of the work is that of other users, I've just collected it and been able to set up a thread giving access to others.
