Play from Selection Start/End
This activates playback from the beginning or end of the
current selection.

position to the next marker and stop.

Use PreRoll
When this is activated and you start playback or record-
ing, Cubase will “roll back” a bit before starting.

When this is activated, Cubase will play back a short sec-
tion after automatic punch-out.
Start Record at Left Locator
If this is activated, the project cursor will jump to the left
locator position and begin recording when you hit the
Record button. If this is off (unticked), recording will start
directly from the current project cursor position.
Metronome Setup…
Opens the Metronome Setup dialog where you can make
various metronome settings.
Metronome On
Activates the metronome.
Precount On
Activates precount – a count-in that will be heard when
you start recording from stop mode and the metronome is
activated. This can also be activated on the Transport
panel. You can specify the number of precount bars in the
Metronome Setup dialog.

Opens a dialog where settings relating to synchronization
can be made.

Retrospective Record
Performs retrospective MIDI recording. If the Retrospec-
tive Record function is enabled in the Preferences
(Record–MIDI page), and a MIDI track is record enabled,
any MIDI notes you play in stop mode or during playback
are captured in buffer memory. If you then select Retro-
spective Record, the MIDI notes you played – i.e. the con-
tents of the buffer memory – are turned into a MIDI part on
the record enabled MIDI track. The MIDI part will appear
where the cursor was when you started playing.
