When you are recording with effects, consider using 32-bit oat or 64-bit oat format. This way,
the bit depth will not be reduced, which means there is no risk of clipping at this stage. Also, this
preserves the signal quality perfectly. If you record in 16-bit or 24-bit format, the available
headroom is lower, which means clipping can occur if the signal is too loud.
Undoing Recordings
You can undo a recording immediately after recording it.

Recovery of Audio Recordings
Cubase allows you to recover audio recordings.
You can recover audio recordings in two situations:
You hit Record too late.
For this to work, you must specify an audio pre-record time.
The system failed during recording.
Specifying an Audio Pre-Record Time
You can capture up to 1 minute of any incoming audio that you play in stop mode or during
playback. This is possible because Cubase can capture audio input in buffer memory, even when
not recording.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Preferences dialog, select Record > Audio.
2. Specify a time (up to 60 seconds) in the Audio Pre-Record Seconds eld.
This activates the buffering of audio input, making pre-record possible.
3. Make sure that an audio track is record-enabled and receives audio from the signal source.
4. When you have played some audio material that you want to capture (either in stop mode or
during playback), click Record.
5. Stop the recording after a few seconds.
This creates an audio event that starts where the cursor position was when you activated
recording. If you were in stop mode, and the cursor was at the beginning of the project, you
may have to move the event to the right in the next step. If you were playing along to a
project, you leave the event where it is.
