Is this possible: Tab to transients in Sonar?

[DontLetMeDrown]

I REALLY like this PT feature. I use Sonar 4 and this would come in VERY handy for me when I edit. I have read "Sonar 4 Power" and do not see a way to this. Are there any Sonar users out there that know a similar way to accomplish this?

You can't have too many tools at your disposal and I suspect that's one that would demonstrate its usefulness.

I'm often finding little features I didn't know about in Sonar, but I can't find that one. (I just went through the whol list of keyboard shortcuts... I may NEVER lay my hands on my computer keyboard with Sonar open, again. Did you know there was a keyboard shortcut for Erase-my-audio-folder-and-reformat-my-hard-drive? That's a joke. Kinda. But I wouldn't let my kitten on the keyboard when Sonar is open...)

[UNbelieavably, there is no Print Assigned Key List or anything... send more scribble strips.]


I did find an interesting new feature in S5 -- you can turn on a track peak marker that marks the most recent peak (and you can go back to that with a rt click on the peak readout in the control area -- but it's real time, it only shows the most recent. I could imagine a far more powerful implementation -- then again, it did find a clipping point I didn't know I had and wasn't looking for. So, that's something.


So, back to the original question... I'm thinkin' that's a probably not.

OOPS... I missed something obvious.

There IS a "transient detector" in the Groove Clip view (or whatever it's called)... I've only used the Groove Clip interface once, so I'm hazy on the whole business. But apparently there has been some kind of transient detector in it since the introduction of Sonar (or renameplating of CW Pro Audio, if you will).

I don't know if that will help you or not.

Cheers.

yeah, I've tried that. If the region is too big (the length of a song), it gives you an error message that says, "A value of 512 for 'Beats in Clip' is out of range. The valid range is ( 1 - 256 )."



wtf

Ah well... chalk a point to PT.

How does that come in handy, anyhow?

Does it jump to the transient's peak?

Id have to say its one of Pts strongest editing features.

Its hard to describe how its useful i suppose you just have to use it if ou know what i mean.

But i find it hard to live without.

NOW I'm intrigued...

I'll have to go hang out with my 3DW PT buddy. There are some troubling limitations to PT LE, for sure, but there are also, it seems to me, some pretty handy tools.


So... do you set the threshold for transients it jumps to? Like how 'steep' the transient is or just how loud or...?

Like I said, I'm intrigued. Maybe I'll start lobbying for it with CW.

nope its just standard but that would be handy if you could do that.

But it works well as it is.
