Snapshots
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A snapshot is a group of settings that SONAR's controls snap to when your project reaches a certain Now Time. You set all the controls to the values you want, and then create a snapshot of these settings at a particular Now Time. This approach is useful, for example, when your project contains a variety of distinct sections and you want to make a sudden change in one or more settings between the sections.
To Create a Snapshot
Move the Now Time to the location where you want to create the snapshot.
Make sure that the Automation toolbar is visible--use the View-Toolbars command and make sure that the Automation checkbox is checked.
Set all controls the way you want them to be at this particular location in the project.
Arm the controls whose positions you want to record by right-clicking each one and making sure the Arm for Automation command has a checkmark next to it in the automation popup menu.
Click the Snapshot button in the Automation toolbar.
SONAR records the positions of all armed controls.
Play your project and listen to the results. You can undo the snapshot by using the Undo command, or by taking another snapshot at the same Now Time.
Disarm all controls by clicking the Disarm All Automation Controls button in the Automation toolbar, or by clicking the red Aut indicator in the Status bar.
You can play back your project with or without the automation data by clicking the Enable Automation Playback button in the Automation toolbar
