The Sample Editor
VariAudio (Cubase only)
You can zoom in on the segments that you want to edit by holding down [Alt]/[Option]
while drawing a selection rectangle. To zoom out, hold down [Alt]/[Option] and click in
an empty area of the waveform. If you hold down [Alt]/[Option] and double click in an
empty area, the display will be zoomed out to show all segments.
Applying editing, offline processes, and VariAudio
The following offline processes and edits that affect the length of the audio file may
lead to the reanalysis of the audio material:
• Options on the Select Process menu, on the Process tab of the Sample Editor
Inspector, or in the Process submenu of the Audio menu that can be applied to
selections.
• Effect processing using the options on the Select Plug-in menu on the Process
tab of the Sample Editor Inspector or in the Plug-ins submenu of the Audio menu
(see the chapter
“Audio processing and functions” on page 302).
• Cut, paste, and delete (see “Editing selection ranges” on page 336), or drawing
notes (see “Drawing in the Sample Editor” on page 335).
If you apply editing that affects the audio itself (like cutting portions, etc.) to a file
containing VariAudio data, the following warning message is displayed:
• If you click “Proceed”, your edits are applied and you will lose your VariAudio data.
Click “Cancel” to return to your audio file without applying any changes.
If you apply offline processing to a file containing VariAudio data, the following
warning message is displayed:
• If you click “Proceed”, your edits are applied, and you will lose your VariAudio data.
Click “Cancel” to return to your audio file without applying any changes.
• If you click “Proceed and Keep”, your edits are applied. Any VariAudio data in the
audio file is kept.
Offline processes that may not affect existing VariAudio data are Envelope, Fade
In/Out, Normalize, or Silence.
• If you activate the “Please don’t display this warning again” option in one of these
warning dialogs before proceeding, Cubase will always proceed with the selected
option.
You can reactivate the warning messages by deactivating the “Inhibit warning
when changing the Sample Data” or “Inhibit warning when applying Offline
Processes” options in the Preferences dialog (VariAudio page).
!
Because of the reanalysis any existing VariAudio data becomes invalid. Therefore, you
should always apply offline processing or edits before using the VariAudio features.
