I'm glad this cool forum is here to ask questions. I recorded my friend playing a djembe drum using three mics going to three separate tracks. I also recorded the same session with my Sony PCM-M10 Portable Recorder. I have imported the track from the portable recorder into sonar but of course the tracks don't sync. I assume I just need to drag the track around until I get it to match the other three tracks. Is there a quicker way to do this in sonar? I'm hoping there might be a tool that quickly syncs them since the waveforms are nearly identical. Thanks!

I got them pretty close by zooming in on the waves and using the move and scrub tools. It's almost there but the move tool isn't precise enough.

Ok, I discovered nudge. That seemed to do the trick. If there was a better way to do this feel free to enlighten me. Cheers.

AudioSnap might be what you're looking for. I haven't got into using it yet...but looks like a really useful tool. Either read up on the PDF manual for X1 or do a search for AudioSnap on youtube.

All the tracks I'm referring to are exactly the same. It's just I started recording with my portable mic about five minutes before I started Sonar. So when I imported the audio it was just a matter of moving the entire track to match up with the others. So using the move and nudge tools worked fine. Audiosnap actually changes the waveform which I didn't need.
