The Project Logical Editor (Cubase only)
Selecting a function
The left pop-up menu at the bottom of the Project Logical
Editor is where you select the function – the basic type of
editing to be performed.
The available options are:
Delete
Deletes all elements found by the Project Logical Editor.
Ö When you delete automation tracks and undo this op-
eration by selecting Undo from the Edit menu, the automa-
tion tracks will be restored, but the tracks will be closed.
Transform
Changes one or several aspects of the found elements.
You set up exactly what is changed in the action list.
Select
This will simply select all found elements, highlighting
them for further work in the Project window.
Applying Macros
In the Macro pop-up menu you can select a macro that
will be executed automatically after completing the actions
defined using the Filter and Action lists. This is useful if
you would like to extend the already powerful Project Log
-
ical Editor features even further.
To use this, you set up the macro that you need in the Key
Commands dialog (see “Setting up key commands” on
page 542) and then select it in the Project Logical Editor
from the Macro pop-up menu.
For example, you can use the filter conditions to select all
tracks that contain automation data for a certain automation
parameter (such as “volume”) and use the macro “Select all
on Track + Delete” to remove the automation events from
these tracks (without deleting the tracks themselves).
Applying the defined actions
Once you have set up filter conditions, selected a function
and set the required actions (or loaded a preset), you ap-
ply the actions defined with the Project Logical Editor by
clicking the Apply button.
Project Logical Editor operations can be undone just like
any other editing.
Working with presets
The Presets section in the upper left section of the win-
dow allows you to load, store and manage Project Logical
Editor presets. A preset contains all settings in the win
-
dow, which means you can simply load a preset, edit the
settings (if necessary) and click Apply.
• To load a preset, select it from the Presets pop-up
menu. If available, an explanatory text appears to the right
of the menu. When setting up your own presets, you can
click in this area to enter a description.
• You can also open the Edit menu and select Presets di-
rectly from the “Process Project Logical Editor” submenu.
This allows you to apply a preset directly, without having
to open the Project Logical Editor.
Storing your own settings as a preset
If you have made Project Logical Editor settings that you
want to use again, you can store them as a preset:
1. Click the Store Preset button to the right of the Pre-
sets pop-up menu.
A dialog for specifying a name for the new preset is displayed.
2. Enter a name for the preset and click OK.
The preset is stored.
Ö To remove a preset, load it and click the Remove Pre-
set button.
Organizing and sharing presets
The Project Logical Editor presets are stored within the
application folder in the Presets\Logical Edit Project sub
-
folder. While these files cannot be edited manually, you
can reorganize them (e. g. putting them in subfolders) like
any files.
