    Is there a way to snap to zero-crossings in Multi-Track View?

    Mark Branch Community Member

      Hey folks how's everyone?  New here and hoping to gain some valuable knowledge seems like there's some helpful folks around this forum and I thank you.

       

      I was wondering if there is a way to "Snap To Zero-Crossings" in Multi_Track View, the same as you can do in Edit Mode?

       

       

      One other question I just thought of is, can I adjust the horizontal zoom amount of my key shortcuts?  I have set my + and - keys to zoom in and out horizontally, but it zooms out a bit too much at once.  I know under preferences you can adjust the zoom level of the mouse wheel, but is there anyway to adjust the zoom amount of the keystroke shortcut that I have set?

       

      The last question is not a big deal, the first question is my biggest concern.  If I could snap to zero-crossings in Multi_Track that would make my life much easier.  thanks kindly.

       


      Although I was thinking perhaps the reason why you can't do it is because it would be much more difficult to snap to zero-crossings across multiple tracks/clips?   If you can't, is this why?  and will future editions of Audition possibly address this?  I would think they could let you snap to zero-crossings in Multi_Track atleast with one track at a time.

          You are basically correct - you can't snap to zero crossings, because it's almost certain that in the main output, there won't be any if you have more than one concurrent track. Yes in theory snapping to zero crossings could be an option on individual tracks, but I don't think that the developers would regard that as a high priority issue, somehow, because this is really an editing function, and MT is a non-destructive playback machine. But...

           

          The one place that this might make a difference though would be with loops. At present, you can snap to loop endpoints, but not zero crossings. Certainly with loops it would seem to make sense that having a zero crossing snap option available could be useful, just for setting up the looping points. As to whether this gets picked up - well, you'll just have to wait and see.
