Menu Reference
Statistics
The Statistics function analyzes the selected audio
(events, clips, or range selections) and displays a window
with various information. Use the Help button in the dialog
for details.
Hitpoints
This submenu relates to the special Hitpoint detection func-
tions in Cubase. These functions detect transient attacks in
audio material and add a type of marker, a “hitpoint” at each
attack. Once the hitpoints have been correctly set, you can
slice up the file which amongst other things enables you to
change the tempo without affecting pitch.
The submenu contains the following items:
Realtime Processing
The items on this submenu relate to the realtime process-
ing features in Cubase.
The submenu contains the following items:
Advanced
The Advanced submenu contains the following items:
Events to Part
This allows you to create a part from selected audio
events.
Option Description
Calculate
Hitpoints
Invokes the hitpoint calculation in the Sample Editor.
Create Audio
Slices from
Hitpoints
Slices the event according to the hitpoints and adjusts
the tempo of the loop to the current project tempo.
Create
Markers from
Hitpoints
Creates markers (on the marker track) according to the
hitpoints.
Divide Audio
Events at
Hitpoints
Splits the event into several events, according to the
hitpoints.
Remove
Hitpoints
Removes all hitpoints.
Option Description
Create Warp
Tabs from
Hitpoints
This creates warp tabs from calculated hitpoints. This can
be done by either directly selecting this item without
creating hitpoints first, or by first creating and editing
hitpoints and then selecting this item.
Flatten This allows you to flatten the realtime processing to con-
serve CPU power.
Unstretch
Audio
This allows you to undo the realtime time stretching pro-
cessing. For this item to be selectable an audio event has
to be opened in the Sample Editor.
Option Description
Detect Silence The Detect Silence function searches for silent sections
in an event, and either splits the event, removing the silent
parts from the project, or creates regions corresponding
to the non-silent sections.
Event or
Range as
Region
This function is available when one or several audio
events are selected or a selection range has been made
encompassing one or several audio events. It creates a
region in the corresponding clip, according to the follow
-
ing rules:
• If no selection range or hitpoints exist, the start and end
position of the region will be determined by the start and
end position of the event within the clip.
• If a selection range exists in the event, this will be used.
• If hitpoints exist in the event, regions will be created be-
tween each hitpoint.
Events from
Regions
This function is available if you have selected an audio
event whose clip contains regions within the boundaries
of the event. The function will remove the original event
and replace it with event(s) positioned and sized accord
-
ing to the region(s).
Set Tempo
from Event
Adjusts the project tempo to the tempo detected in the
edited loop.
Set Definition
from Tempo…
Opens the Set Definition From Tempo dialog, which you
can use to save the tempo information from the tempo
track in the selected audio clips.
Close Gaps
(Time Stretch)
Applies time stretch to close the gaps between slices of
a sliced audio event (typically when the project tempo is
lower than the loop tempo).
Close Gaps
(Crossfade)
Closes the gaps between slices of a sliced audio event
and applies crossfades.
Stretch to
Project Tempo
Stretches the selected event(s) to fit the project tempo.
Requires that hitpoints have been calculated for the
event(s).
Delete
Overlaps
Used when recording audio in Stacked Cycle Recording
mode. In this mode, each take (cycle lap) ends up on a
separate lane on the track in the Project window. After
editing the takes (composing a “perfect take” for exam
-
ple), you can select Delete Overlaps to return the sepa-
rate takes to a single lane and remove all overlapped
material – i.
e., only the material that will be played back is
visible in the Project window.
