The Delete dialog box appears.
5. Click the following checkboxes:
• Events in Tracks
• Delete Hole—if you want the data that comes after the hole to retain its same placement in a
measure, check the
Shift by Whole Measures option.
6. Click any of the other options you want to delete.
7. Click OK.
SONAR deletes the time or measures you selected.
To delete time when there is no audio or MIDI data in the area you want to delete (or if there is data,
but you like to drag and drop):
1. Set the Snap to Grid value to the unit of time you want to delete. For example, if you want to delete
whole measures, set the Snap to Grid value to a whole measure.
2. In the Track view, select the clips you want to move.
3. Drag one of the selected clips to its proper destination—the Drag and Drop Options dialog box
appears.
4. Choose options and click OK.
All the selected clips move by the amount that you dragged the mouse.
Stretching and Shrinking Events
The Process-Length and Process-Fit to Time commands can be used to stretch or shrink a portion of
a project. Process-Length lets you stretch or shrink the selection by a fixed percentage and makes the
adjustment by altering the individual events. A value of 200 percent, for example, stretches the
selection to twice its original length, while a value of 50 percent shrinks the selection to half its original
length.
Process-Fit to Time stretches or shrinks the selection so that it ends at a specific time, expressed in
either measure:beat:tick (MBT) or hours:minutes:seconds:frames (SMPTE) format. This command
gives you a choice of modifying the events or modifying the underlying tempo. This is useful when you
want a portion of a project to have an exact length. The start time of the selection does not change, but
the end time is altered as necessary to fit the required time interval.
Both of these commands offer the option to stretch audio clips along with the MIDI information.
Sometimes you don’t want to adjust the speed of your audio.
Here are some examples:
• If your project contains background music and a voice-over, you might want to change the tempo of
the background music without altering the voice-over
• If you’re trying to modify the speed of some MIDI tracks to match a sampled drum groove, you
want to leave the audio unchanged
• If your audio consists solely of sound effects, you most likely do not want to adjust them
Audio can be stretched or condensed up to a factor of 4 (e.g., it can be shrunk to as little as 25 percent of
its original length, or expanded to as much as 400 percent of its original length).
You can also use the Process-Length command to alter only the start times or the durations of notes.
For example, changing the durations of notes to 50 percent of their original length can create a staccato
effect.
