Replace Audio in Video File (Cubase only)
This lets you insert audio into a video file. If the video file
already contains an audio track, this will be replaced by
the audio you insert into it.
Cleanup…
The Cleanup function helps you to save hard disk space by
locating unused files which you can delete in the project
folders on your disk.
Preferences…
Ö Under Mac OS X, the Preferences dialog is accessed
from the Cubase menu.
The Preferences dialog contains various settings and op-
tions. The dialog has several pages that you access by se-
lecting items in the Explorer-like list on the left. To make
settings without closing the dialog, use the Apply button.
Use the Help button in the dialog for information about the
items on the selected page.
Key Commands…
The Key Commands dialog allows you to specify key com-
mands for virtually any Cubase function, as well as cus-
tomize existing key commands to your liking. Use the Help
button in the dialog for information about the items in the
dialog.
Recent Projects
This submenu provides shortcuts to the most recent
projects you have been working with. The list is chrono-
logical with the most recent project at the top of the list.
Quit
Ö Under Mac OS X, this item is accessed from the Cu-
base menu.
This quits the program. If there are any unsaved changes
in an open project, you will have the option of keeping
these or discarding them before the program quits.
Option Description
MIDI File… Allows you to export MIDI tracks as standard MIDI files.
MIDI Loop… Allows you to export MIDI loops (file extension “midiloop”)
in Cubase. MIDI loops contain MIDI part information plus
all settings that are saved in Instrument track presets.

Allows you to mix down and export an output bus. In Cu-
base you can also export an audio track channel or any
kind of audio channel in the mixer (including VST instru-
ment channels, effect return channels, Group channels

on your hard disk, complete with effects, automation EQ
etc., in one of several file formats.
Selected
Tracks…

project, complete with contents, mixer settings, automa-
tion, effects etc. The exported tracks can then be im-
ported into other Cubase projects by selecting “Track
Archive…” from the Import submenu.
Tempo Track Tempo track information (including time signature events)
can be exported as a special xml file (file extension
“.smt”), which can later be imported into another project.

e.g. a Bitmap file.

are some restrictions concerning the parameters sup-
ported by Cubase.

work Interchange) file.
