Hmmmm, I've backed all the way out of Audio Snap and right click on the bass track. There isn't an option for "enable audio snap". In order for me to get the Audio Snap palette, I have to go to "Views > Audio Snap Palette" (or Ctrl+A). Without clicking on Edit Clip Map, the same marks appear in the clip, which cannot be moved.
These marks appear consistent with where transients should be, such as the beginning of a note or notes.
You said, "If the clip has already been "Acidized" with a tempo map". What does "acidized" mean or how would that have happened?
Does it make a difference if I am trying to do this as one of the "take lanes" (a subdivision of the main bass track?) I've got five "takes" for the bass line and I am just wanting to use Audio Snap on one of them,
