I apologize Spacey. I misunderstood what you were asking.

Yes, Steve is correct. It's a test of how the snap setting feels ones you apply it.

Yeah works like Steve says as a test area. Click and drag the green bar which will "snap" to the vertical lines using the current setting.

 
I'm thinking about doing a video myself
 
Strange to say, I only knew the answer because at first I did exactly the same thing myself. I was dragging the green bar over to the right thinking I was setting the strength to Extreme - it took a few attempts before I spotted the line above was actually the slider.
 
 

I never turn off snap to grid - ever - and yet at least 2 or 3 times during a session I will notice that it's just randomly turned itself off. Such a crock.

Well....my doesn't and that's why asked what kind of test it is.
As I said...I can change the "snap intensity" slider to any setting and the Magnetic Test green
bar will return to right side of first or the three black bars. It won't move to that bar until I hit
"Apply".
 
Now if that green slug is suppose to return to the same spot regardless of the Snap intensity setting
then it is working fine....and doesn't make a lick of sense.
Though I'd add....when I hit Apply and it goes back it always moves at the same speed so it's not indicating anything other than returning to where it defaults to.

Not sure what's going on there then. That doesn't sound right at all. You should be able to drag the green bar anywhere although of course it conforms to your current snap setting.


Did I read somewhere that you were having other "issues" with X2? It might be worth uninstalling and re-installing if there are other problems, I had alsorts of issues a while ago with V7, 95% of which were sorted out with a complete uninstall and re-install including deleting keys in the registry and other various folders on your system.


They are 

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\  delete the “X2” key
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\  delete the “X2” key  

32 bit only
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Wow6432Node\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\  delete the "X2" key      
Also......

Navigate to the following


C:\Program Files\Cakewalk or C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk and verify that the SONAR X2 directory has been removed then go to the Shared Utilities folder and delete PluginManager.exe and VstScan.exe 
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Cakewalk and delete the “SONAR X2” directory if it exists 
%APPDATA%\Cakewalk and delete the “SONAR X2” directory if it exists 
\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk  and Delete the "SONAR X2" directory if it exists



At that point your system will be X2 "clean" for a re-install. I always think that a re-install is a bit drastic especially for one problem but if you are experiencing several that's what I'd do.

Did you not watch a video where that was all explained? tsk...

Karl, thank you.
 
Yes you may have read that I had many issues with my first project in X2.
 
I appreciate your efforts to help very much. I will be re-installing it this weekend.
 
I also took advantage of the gift from Cake and got your video with it. I'm working
my way through it and used many "new" ways for me. I used the keyboard more
than I ever had. Enjoying your work very much and it has already helped me in numerous
areas.

Hi Michael, no worries

I hope it gets you sorted and if you need any more help, if I can I will (but I can't fix the bugs unfortunately )

Thanks for buying the video. Your support is much appreciated.
