When I used Sonar 8 I had no problems hitting the beginning of a measure when cllicking. I could click anywhere in a track, the timelime or even in a blank area under the tracks and it would take me to the beginning of a measure. Say 12:01.000
 
Under X2 it seems I have to click on the timeline and hope it takes me to the beginning. Yesterday I recorded a guitar track and though I was starting at 12:01:000. Nope, it started at 11:04:863 (or some such number). I didn't realize that until I began copying the recorded part out further in the track. X2 seems a tad bit more sensitive to me.
 
What am I doing wrong? I know it's me.
 
Auto Snap is "on" set to 1/4.
 
Is that correct or is there another setting I need to look at?
 
Thanks for any input.

Check the intensity setting in prefs-->customization-->Snap to grid. Extreme will make sure it snaps

Thanks, Karl. I'll give that a try.

Might be worth checking whether you have "Snap to zero crossing point" checked as well. That'll drag it off by a few ticks or more depending on material.

I did both. Seems to work just fine now.

Thanks for your help. It was very frustrating.

I'm seeing a similar thing.

In Track View, the Now Time will snap to the nearest whole measure number when you click anywhere in the ruler.

In PRV, the Now Time will not snap anywhere but will go wherever I click on the ruler.

This happens with the SMart grid on or off, at different magnetic strengths, and Snap To Nearest Audio Crossing checked & unchecked.

In Track View, the Now Time will snap to the nearest whole measure number when you click anywhere in the ruler. In PRV, the Now Time will not snap anywhere but will go wherever I click on the ruler.

You need to make sure Global Snap is enabled, AND then you need to make sure that PRV Snap (top right) is also enabled. Only having one on means no snapping in the PRV.

Thanks Funkybot!

That's one of my little niggles sorted out.

Are these not Global settings? To bring up the Snap To Grid setting in Preferences you need to left click on the Snap icon. Then you can move the slider to "Extreme".

When I open a new project the slider is set where it was not to "extreme".

This is a PITA. It's like "Reset MIDI Controllers to Zero". That's not Global either.

No they are per project. If you want them as default set them up and then save it as a template, either overwriting the exisitng one or create a new one.
