Audio processing and functions
• If the lower section is hidden, click the “More…” button
to display it.
Clicking the button again (now labeled “Less…”) will hide the lower
section.
The following settings and functions are available in the
common, lower section of the dialog:
Wet mix/Dry mix
These two sliders allow you to specify the balance be-
tween wet (processed) and dry (original) signal in the re-
sulting clip.
Normally the two sliders are “reverse-ganged”, so that
raising the Wet mix slider lowers the Dry mix slider by the
same amount. However, if you press [Alt]/[Option] and
drag a slider, you can move it independently. This allows
you to set 80
% dry and 80 % wet signal, for example. Be
careful to avoid distortion.
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. For example, if you activate Pre-Crossfade and spec
-
ify a value of 1000 ms, the effect is applied gradually from
the start of selection, reaching full effect 1000 ms after the
start. Similarly, if you activate Post-Crossfade, the pro
-
cessing is gradually removed, starting at the specified in-
terval 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 set
-
tings during 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
Sample Editor operations such as Cut, Paste, Delete and
drawing with the Pencil tool.
Ö Due to the clip-file relationship (see “Background” on
page 245), 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 255).
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 301).
2. Select “Offline Process History…” from the Audio
menu.
The Offline Process History dialog opens.
!
The sum of the Pre-Crossfade and Post-Crossfade
times cannot be larger than the length of the selection.
