Zonno
Shift+M was what I was looking. I believe this used to be in a menu, but somehow this disappeared?
The method in the video is of course better. That is what I am trying to achieve in the end. But I was unsuccesful trying this last night and ran into an errormessage, in spite of the fact that I did trim the clip.
I will look into this again tonight.
Thanks.
Is it the "Tempo out of range" error? If so that is always caused by an errant transient detection or mapping somewhere. Usually at the start of the clip hence the trimming. Basically Sonar thinks it has to increase the tempo to over 1000 BPM to make the beats line up and you get that message as 1000 BPM is the max supported.
Another thing that will help to alleviate the error is making sure that the SOnar's guess at the average BPM in the clip map is more or less correct. If not select the correct one from the drop down options. Other tips that will help include manually lining up the first beat with a measure beat before starting the clip map process and setting the project tempo very roughly to the played tempo to start with.
When mapping go through and check there are no obvious beats missed or stray transients that aren't at least close to a clip map beat marker. All of those will help.
