Hey Karl
Do you know what the high med low and off do in the settings. Which is best to try and get Snap to land on the transients better say on an acoustic guitar audio track?
I would like for it to be on the money if at all possible seeing I dont use midi features much
Hi Mike
I assume you are referring to the magnetic strength settings and using X1 as those options no longer exist in X2, that part has been simplified a little.
In X1.... If off there is no magnetic snap as such and snap will only snap to the specified snap point. So for maximum "snap" leave it off.
The low, mid, high all refer to the strength of the magnetic snap of a snap point. If it is set to low there is little pull from the snap point, so it is possible to move clips etc, almost anywhere and they won't snap to the snap points until very close to them. Medium and the pull is a little stronger so snap will "snap" from a little further away. High and the pull is stronger still and although possible to move clips between snap points the pull is still pretty strong and will snap to the snap points from much further away.
That's why when it is on low it can give the impression that it isn't working as you nearly have to have a clip at the snap point before it works.
In X2..... all of that has been replaced by an "Intensity" slider setting from "Light" to "Extreme" with a test area to check how it works. When set to light it's the equivalent of the old "low" setting and easily possible to place clips/notes etc between snap points. On extreme it's almost impossible to do that as the snap is so strong.
The new way is IMHO more intuitive. It never made much sense to me to have to set the magnetic snap to off to have it at full power.
