Snap To Grid; Snap To Cues - Mackie HDR24 Editing Manual

HDR 24/96
NOTE: Enable Snapping is the on/off switch. If you want to use snapping, you
must select this. It is not sufficient to select Snap to Cues or Snap to Grid by it-
self. If Snapping is enabled with Cues and Grid turned off, a dragged region will
snap to the current time bar or the edge of an adjacent region.

Snap to Grid

The resolution of the grid is set from the Snap Grid submenu. There are both
time (minutes, seconds, frames) as well as musical (bar, quarter note, eight
note, etc.) increments which can be selected as grid increments. In addition,
you can snap to Ruler Marks, which are the divisions along the time bar at
whatever the current time scale is. This option is helpful for working within
the context of the current view - for fine snap increments while zoomed in and
for larger increments when zoomed out.
Time Snap resolutions are as follows:
Minutes
Seconds
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 (disco lives!), the tempo from which BBT is calculated can be set
from the MIDI Setup menu. 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 - snap to this resolution
Half Note triplet
Quarter note
Quarter note triplet
Eighth note
Eighth note triplet
Sixteenth note
Sixteenth note triplet

Snap to Cues

When Snap to Cues is enabled, the snap function will allow dragged objects
and selections to 'cling' to any nearby Cue time.
