itssofly Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Can I save Snap Regions To Absolute Value without to save as template? I want to make it a default setting. Friendly Greetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 No, unfortunately you'll have to make a template for that. I have lobbied Apple to make "Snap to Absolute Value" the default setting for the past 10 years or so, but for some obscure reason it seems they still feel a default Snap behavior should be "relative value".

itssofly Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 10 years is very long I will do . Thanks! I think that most people don't know about that option, (that Snap Regions To Absolute Value better works for grid then Relative Value) David?

nev17 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just want to throw my tuppence-worth in. 'Snap to relative value' as the default makes more sense to me. Far less error-prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have many problems with Snap To Relative Value. Many times it doesn't want to be 100% on the grid with Relative Value with dragging. So what do you mean? I think that it gives many problems.

David Nahmani Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I have many problems with Snap To Relative Value. Many times it doesn't want to be 100% on the grid with Relative Value with dragging. Snap to Relative value is not supposed to be on the grid, it's supposed to keep the same offset as what you're dragging. For example if your region is on 1 3 2 76 and your Snap value is the bar, you can drag that region to N 3 2 76 (where N is the bar number, for example 5 3 2 76). IMO that's not what people are expecting when trying to "Snap" something. Especially when the key command is labeled "Snap to Grid" for a function that does NOT snap to grid when using the default "relative" setting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do you mean? I think that it gives many problems. You need to use relative value to keep the notes in an irregular sized region in the correct position in the bar. IMO that's not what people are expecting when trying to "Snap" something. Especially when the key command is labeled "Snap to Grid" for a function that does NOT snap to grid when using the default "relative" setting. Which is why I believe we should be able to choose a default that suits. And is a principle that should be applied to many, many features in LPX.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but as a new logic user, this default behavior was very infuriating. I just figured out how to turn on the absolute value thing about two seconds ago, and it's much better! I agree with David here, snapping is supposed to mean it snaps to the grid points. Not to any other values. That's what the grid is there for in the first place, to keep everything lined up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Yes to this day, this choice by the Logic developer still baffles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0nc3pt Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 You can add one more year to that making it a total of 16 + years and still Snap to Absolute by default option, but for other more complicated things there is lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you're not working in a locked screenset: in your main menu, click the number and select "Unlock" then make the desired changes and save your template.

Amazingly Andrew Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 For me the default behavior is baffling and infuriating, but I can understand that some people like it, which means there is an obvious solution: Allow me to set my own default. Not just in a template, just have a check box in the settings! Is that so hard, Apple?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example I also find myself constantly having to turn off the count-in before I start recording. Until then I'm afraid the only way is to create your own template. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
