  • Why doesn't Aim Assist show the correct location when dragging a clip?

If I have snap set to, say, 1/8th notes, the Aim Assist reading, when I'm just moving the cursor around, shows M:B:T locations which are perfectly aligned with those 1/8th notes. However, if I'm dragging a clip around to that same snap value, the Aim Assist reading shows M:B:T locations which are out by a few ticks. For instance, I just dragged a clip to bar 5. It snapped to bar 5 perfectly. But before I let go of the clip, Aim Assist was showing a reading of 5:1:020. And when I drag the clip to bar 3, even though the Aim Assist line is perfectly aligned with the bar, it's reading shows 3:1:040. 


Surely this is a bug?

i agree there needs to be some improvements;
like in this perticuliar case,sharke is right,i think the aim asst line isnt working as it should,it seems to drop the clip where you want it.
but the aim asst line seems to be off somewhere in the region of .004 - .0018. depending on your zooming properties.
i think its directly involved with smart snap somehow(just a guess) and should be addressed.
 
but taking pot shots at sonar isnt going to make you a better person james.It's also not going to fix your issues or mine.
exspressing your concerns in a productive manner will.
 
when i encounter an issue like this,i fill out a bug report.as im doing right now.
do i enjoy doing that? not exactly,but what are my options?
What am i going to do?

When moving anything in general, including the aim assist line, clips jump around weird, disappear some, land in wrong spot, and they don't line up nice visually half the time like Ableton where things move very elegantly.
