Ripple Editing provides a convenient way to rearrange sections of a song and maintain sync relationships without leaving unintended gaps between clips. When adjusting the position of a clip in the Track view, SONAR will automatically adjust the start position of all subsequent clips to compensate for the change. Users may choose to ripple edit just the selection, or all tracks as well as meter\/key changes, tempo changes, and markers. Supported gestures include; Cut, Copy, Paste, Move, and Delete. Use these gestures on Tracks or Buses and the automation will also follow.<\/p>\n

Following up on our <\/span>current <\/span><\/i>developments<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cakewalk\u2019s new <\/span>Adaptive Limiter<\/b> is the perfect complement to our acclaimed L-Phase Equalizer and Multiband plug-ins, now available in SONAR Professional and SONAR Platinum as part of the Engineering Suite. Along with a gorgeous UI, brickwall limiting, and inter-sample peak detection, the Adaptive Limiter provides 4 different character types that cover a variety of mixing and mastering applications.<\/span><\/p>\n
