your current display mode. In addition, you can snap to Ruler Marks, which are the divisions
lines along the time bar that appear depending on your selected time display mode and the
level of zoom for your current view. This option can be very useful, providing fine snap
increments while zoomed in and larger increments when zoomed out.
Time-code Snap resolutions are as follows:
Minute
Second
Frame
For musical applications (when working in bars beats and ticks) a tempo map can be
imported from a Standard MIDI file, so that snapping to musical intervals follows tempo
changes in the song. If the project is at a fixed tempo throughout, the tempo from which BBT
is calculated can be set from the MIDI Setup menu as previously described. The default
tempo is 120 BPM, with a fixed resolution of 480 ticks per quarter note. The BBT snap
resolutions are as follows:
Bar
Half note
Half Note triplet
Quarter note
Quarter note triplet
Eighth note
Eighth note triplet
Sixteenth note
Sixteenth note triplet
It’s important to note that the Snap Grid setting is independent of the Time Units display.
You can have time displayed in HH:MM:SS:FF and still have the Snap Grid set to a musical
interval. If your snap points aren’t making sense, check the grid setting. It’s probably left
over from a previous Project. The Snap Grid setting is one of those things that gets saved
with the Template, so a new Project will carry that grid setting until you change it. Your new
grid settings will be saved when you save the Project.
Remember that when in the BBT time display mode, the time bar intervals are determined by
the tempo setting (see MIDI Setup) and grow and shrink to follow a tempo map if you’ve
imported one. The musical grid settings do the sensible thing and follow the tempo, whatever
it happens to be.
Snap to Cues
When Snap to Cues is selected, a dragged object will (you guessed it) snap to the nearest Cue.
If you’ve dropped a Cue where you want a sound effect or where you want the chorus to start,
this is a good way to get it there accurately.
Region Editing
The I-Beam and Hand tools can be used to redefine and adjust the Start or End of regions. As a
reminder, the start and end points of the region that you see on the screen may not necessarily be
those of the original waveform file.
