Create Audio Images during Record
If this option is activated, Cubase calculates the waveform image and displays it
during the actual recording process.
NOTE
This realtime calculation uses some extra processing power.
Record - Audio - Broadcast Wave
This page allows you to specify the Description, Author, and Reference text strings that are
embedded in recorded Broadcast Wave files. The settings you make here also appear as default
strings in the Broadcast Wave Chunk dialog when you export files to certain formats (not only
Broadcast Wave files can contain embedded information, but also Wave, Wave 64, and AIFF files).
Record - MIDI
Record-Enable allows MIDI Thru
Activate this option if you do not want record-enabled MIDI or instrument tracks to
echo incoming MIDI data. This prevents hearing doubled notes on record-enabled
tracks to which a VST instrument is assigned.
Snap MIDI Parts to Bars
Activate this to lengthen recorded MIDI parts automatically to start and end at
whole bar positions. If you are working in a Bars+Beats-based context, this can make
editing (Moving, Duplicating, Repeating, etc.) easier.
MIDI Record Catch Range in ms
When you record starting at the left locator, this setting helps you make sure that the
very start of the recording is included. If you raise the Record Catch Range, Cubase
will catch the events played just before the recording start point, eliminating this
problem.
Retrospective Record
If this option is activated, the program captures MIDI input in buffer memory, even
when not recording. The contents of the buffer memory can then be retrieved and
turned into a MIDI part on a record-enabled MIDI track. This therefore allows you
to capture any MIDI notes you play in stop mode or during playback and later turn
them into a recorded MIDI part.
Use the Retrospective Record Buffer Size setting to determine how much MIDI
data can be captured in the buffer.
ASIO Latency Compensation Active by Default
This determines the initial state of the ASIO Latency Compensation button in the
track list for MIDI or instrument tracks.
If you record live on a VST instrument, you usually compensate the latency of your
audio card by playing too early. In consequence, the timestamps are recorded too
early. By activating this option, all recorded events are moved by the current latency,
and playback sounds like during the recording situation.
Replace Recording in Editors
This affects the result of recording in a MIDI editor when Replace Mode is selected
(Linear Record Mode on the Transport panel):
● None
Nothing is replaced, even though Replace Mode is selected.
● Controller
