The Sample Editor
• Cut, paste, and delete (see “Editing selection ranges”
on page 269), or drawing notes (see “Drawing in the
Sample Editor” on page 268).
If you apply editing that affects the audio itself (like cutting
portions, etc.) to a file containing VariAudio data, the follow-
ing warning message is displayed:
• If you click “Proceed”, your edits are applied and you
will lose your VariAudio data.
Click “Cancel” to return to your audio file without applying any changes.
If you apply offline processing to a file containing VariAudio
data, the following warning message is displayed:
• If you click “Proceed”, your edits are applied, and you
will lose your VariAudio data.
Click “Cancel” to return to your audio file without applying any changes.
• If you click “Proceed and Keep”, your edits are applied.
Any VariAudio data in the audio file is kept.
Offline processes that may not affect existing VariAudio data are Enve-
lope, Fade In/Out, Normalize, or Silence.
• If you activate the “Please don’t display this warning
again” option in one of these warning dialogs before pro-
ceeding, Cubase will always proceed with the selected
option.
You can reactivate the warning messages by deactivating the “Inhibit
warning when changing the Sample Data” or “Inhibit warning when apply
-
ing Offline Processes” options in the Preferences dialog (VariAudio page).
Segments mode
If you activate Segments mode on the VariAudio tab, your
audio file is analyzed and split into separate segments.
When you want to change the pitch of audio that includes
non-tonal portions, e. g. consonants or effect sounds like
reverberation, you may have to edit the segmentation in
order to include the non-tonal portions in the segments.
Otherwise, pitch modifications will only affect the tonal
portions.
Editing the segmentation includes changing the start and
end position of a segment, cutting or gluing segments,
and moving or deleting them. Just select the section of the
file that you want to change, activate Segments mode,
and edit the segmentation for the desired section. If you
are not satisfied with your changes, you can go back to
the original segmentation (see
“Reset” on page 290).
Ö In Segments mode, the segments are shown with a
hatched background. You can toggle between “Pitch &
Warp” and “Segments” mode (see
“Pitch & Warp tool” on
page 285) by pressing the [Tab] key.
The following paragraphs list the corrections that can be
performed when Segments mode is activated.
!
Because of the reanalysis any existing VariAudio
data becomes invalid. Therefore, you should always
apply offline processing or edits before using the
VariAudio features.
!
Due to the data gained during this process, the au-
dio and thus the size of your project can increase.
Furthermore, the analysis of long audio files might
take some time.
!
Editing the segmentation always leads to a recalcu-
lation of the segment’s pitch. Therefore, it is recom-
mended that you edit the segmentation before
changing the pitch.
