CAKEWALK SONAR - Snapshots

506
The following MIDI controls support both Envelope and Offset modes:
To Open Non-SONAR Envelope Display on a Percentage Scale
You can globally configure the placement of 0 dB for your envelopes in the Clips
pane. The default placement in the Clips pane of 0 dB is roughly 1/3 from the top of
the clip. You can change the position of 0 dB in all envelopes to the middle of the
clip.
There are several advantages when using the Envelope Display on a Percentage
Scale option:
• It makes it easier to tell if there have been any changes.
• There is a finer resolution around 0 dB.
Note: In Envelope mode, newly created volume clips appear at the same dB value
as the current Vol setting. For example, if the Vol setting is +3 dB, a newly created
volume envelope appears above the middle of the clip.
To Display Envelopes on a Percentage Scale
1. Select Options-Global to open the Global Options dialog.
2. In the General tab, click the Display Envelopes on Percentage Scale checkbox.
3. Click OK.
Snapshots
A snapshot is a group of settings that SONAR’s controls snap to when your project
reaches a certain Now Time. You set all the controls to the values you want, and
then create a snapshot of these settings at a particular Now Time. This approach
is useful, for example, when your project contains a variety of distinct sections and
you want to make a sudden change in one or more settings between the sections.
