20.0 Tempo, Click, & Grid

The settings for the Grid menu are:

No Grid: No grid is applied.

Grid: the grid is applied; any mouse move in the editing canvas will "jump" between grid locations. Operations at the Edit Point will be snapped to the nearest grid point.

Magnetic: When the Edit point is very near a grid location, it will snap to the location. But in-between the locations it will remain manual (no grid).

Grid Modes

The edit point may snap to:

clock time (CD frames, SMPTE, Seconds, Minutes)

Musical Time (Bars, Beats)

Markers

Region events (start, stop, etc)

￿Note: Regions have a "Sync point" which defines how they will

snap to the grid. For example: a region might have audio preceding the first note, but the first note defines the point that should by synchronized to the grid. The "sync position" can be changed with Region->Set Sync Position, or the assigned keyboard command. You may need to turn off the Grid when assigning sync points, if the sync point isn't already lined up on a grid location.

%Note: To use Region starts/ends/syncs/bounds as snap choices, you must have either (a) NO tracks selected, which means that Mixbus will snap to regions on any track, or (b) several tracks selected, and Mixbus will only

snap to regions on those selected tracks. If you are moving items on a track, and only the current track is selected, then you will only be able to snap to other regions on the same track. This means that the Option "Sync Track Selection to Region Selection" will make the "Region" grid units unusable. Avoid the use of this option if you are going to use any of the Region grid units.
