• When you hold down [Alt]/[Option] while clicking on an
event with the Glue Tube tool, this event will be glued to-
gether with all following events on this track.
You can change the default key command for this in the Preferences
(Editing–Tool Modifiers page).
Resizing events
Resizing events means to move their start or end positions
individually. In Cubase, there are three types of resizing:
To select one of the resizing modes, select the Arrow tool
and then click again on the Arrow tool icon on the toolbar.
This opens a pop-up menu from which you can select one
of the resizing mode options.
The icon on the toolbar will change, indicating the selected resizing mode.
The actual resizing is done by clicking and dragging the
lower left or right corner of the event. If Snap is activated,
the Snap value determines the resulting length (see
“Snap” on page 56).
Normal sizing.
Sizing moves contents.
• If several events are selected, all will be resized in the
same way.
• You can also resize events with the Scrub tool.
This works just the same as when resizing with the Arrow tool, but the
audio under the pointer is played back (scrubbed) while you drag.
Resizing type Description
Normal Sizing The contents of the event stay fixed, and the start or end
point of the event is moved to “reveal” more or less of the
contents.
Sizing Moves
Contents
The contents follow the moved start or end of the event
(see the figure below).
Sizing Applies
Time Stretch
The contents will be time stretched to fit the new event
length (see the separate description on “Resizing events
using time stretch” on page 50).
