It looks like I'm gonna have to start a tips doc.... The other day, there was a tip on setting the Now time to every measure to "fix"  something recorded without a click.  I figured I would  get back to it later. Now I can't find it.........
I figure a Word doc to dump em into for a start. Easier to search than the whole internet, which didn't come up with the answer. Probably not worded correctly.....
Unless anyone has a better idea.....

To get the tempo map aligned to audio, Control + M opens a dialog to set the measure/beat at the now time.

Every time I wipe my laptop drive and reinstall from an image I always create a "Sonar" bookmarks folder in Firefox. If there is something that is particularly useful I bookmark it into that folder. Before I wipe the drive again I export and backup all the bookmarks to an external drive.
 
Ideally I would import the backups on to the fresh Win/FF install but I never seem to BUT I do still have all those backups saved. One day I will sit down, import all those backups and sort them all into a master file.
 
I have a ton of other music and computer related bookmarks as well. One day I will create a master file of everything I've collected over the years (articles, vids, tuts, useful sites, etc) and maybe release it to the forum.
 
I also have an ever growing master folder where I store all all my local tuts, manuals, vids and personal notes (I use notepad instead of other text editors because I want raw text for various reasons). That continually gets updated and is my main go to if I need to figure something out or have time to do an in depth study of something (in the latter case I create or update my note files on the subject).
 
It is still a little chaotic but I've been refining this system for the past few years and it is getting easier and easier to go back and reference it all.
 
PS: And I found when I make notes on vid tuts or specific manuals I keep them in the same folder as the actual material. I did try keeping it all in one big document but that got WAY too crazy WAY too fast. One main folder with subdirectories was way easier to manage/edit, navigate and backup.

Audio Snap and a Tempo Map will get you what you want.

every post has a field 'Permalink' which gives you an address for that specific post. It goes like this

Keep a word doc and add the permalinks with a small note.
Have a look at Craig's 52 top posts in my Onedrive. its a great start for tips.

I use a OneNote notebook to capture Sonar tips and tricks among other things. OneNote is free and stores your stuff in the cloud (although I am still using the MS Office 2010 version which stores on your local machine, among other places.)

Yes. The permalink thingie is your friend. Bookmarks a cool thread but goes directly to the coolest post of said cool thread... or in some cases the only cool post in an otherwise suxxorated thread.

There is a better way!! And now I have my own little database! I d/l'd everything. I just realized that since I signed up to Office365, I have 1 tb at One Drive. I'm gonna move most everything off Google(15gb) and Dropbox(5gb).
 
 
Thanks guys!
