Audio processing and functions
Tail
This parameter is useful if you are applying an effect that
adds material after the end of original audio (such as re-
verb and delay effects). When the checkbox is activated,
you can specify a tail length using the slider. The tail time
is included when playing back with the Preview function,
allowing you to find the appropriate tail length.
Pre/Post-Crossfade
These settings allow you to gradually mix the effect in or
out. If you activate Pre-Crossfade and specify a value of
e.g. 1000ms, the effect will be applied gradually from the
start of selection, reaching full effect 1000ms after the
start. Similarly, if you activate Post-Crossfade, the pro-
cessing will gradually be removed starting at the specified
interval before the end of the selection.
Preview button
Allows you to listen to the result of the processing with the
current settings. Playback will continue repeatedly until you
click the button again (the button is labeled “Stop” during
Preview playback). You can change the effect settings dur-
ing Preview playback if needed.
Process button
Applies the effect and closes the dialog.
Cancel button
Closes the dialog without applying the effect.
The Offline Process History dialog
If you want to remove or modify some or all processing
from a clip, this can be done in the Offline Process History
dialog. Processing that can be modified in the Offline Pro-
cess History dialog includes the functions on the Process
menu, any applied plug-in effects (Cubase only), and Sam-
ple Editor operations such as Cut, Paste, Delete and draw-
ing with the Pencil tool.
Ö Due to the clip-file relationship (see “Background” on
page 205), it is even possible to modify or remove some
processing “in the middle” of the Process History, while
keeping later processing! This feature depends on the type
of processing performed (see “Restrictions” on page 215).
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the clip in the Pool or one of its events in the
Project window.
You can see which clips have been processed by checking the Status
column in the Pool – the waveform symbol indicates that processing or
effects have been applied to the clip (see “About the Status column sym-
bols” on page 262).
2. Select “Offline Process History…” from the Audio
menu.
The Offline Process History dialog appears.
The left part of the dialog contains a list of all processing
you have added to the clip, with the most recent opera-
tions at the bottom of the list. The “Start” and “Length”
columns indicate which section of the clip was affected by
each operation. The “Status” column indicates if the oper-
ation can be modified or undone.
3. Locate the operation you want to edit and select it by
clicking on it in the list.
!
The sum of the Pre- and Post-Crossfade times can-
not be larger than the length of the selection.
