Reverting clip(s) to original time stamp
All audio and MIDI clips in SONAR have a Original Time property, which stores the original SMPTE
time stamp associated with a clip. The Original Time clip property is based on absolute time, not
tempo. This allows you to freely re-arrange clips and later revert them back to their original time.
SONAR automatically assigns the
Original Time property during import or immediately after record.
When an audio clip containing a SMPTE time stamp is imported into SONAR (such as a Broadcast
Wave file), the
Original Time field is populated with this time stamp. When opening previous
SONAR projects, existing clips will be populated with their current time.

Note: The Original Time property can not be edited. If a clip is bounced to a new clip, the
Original Time stamp will not propagate to the new clip.
