Tutorial 2: Editing Audio
Processing audio
Cubase AI has the ability to make changes to the audio in
more ways than splitting and resizing. You can Normalize,
Reverse and Silence to name a few. For a full explanation
on processing audio, see the chapter “Audio processing
and Functions” in the Operation Manual.
You can process the whole audio event or use the Range
Selection tool and select just the section of audio you want.
Let’s show you how to Normalize and Reverse an audio
event.
Normalize
Normalize raises the volume of the audio to the desired
amount. Usually you adjust the slider to “0” dB or “-1” dB
so that you get the maximum volume without clipping your
audio. A common use for Normalizing is to raise the level
of audio that was recorded at too low an input level.
1. With the Object Selection tool, click on the audio
event you wish to change.
You can also use the Range Selection tool and select the section of au-
dio you want.
2. On the Audio menu–Process submenu, select “Nor-
malize”.
3. Adjust the slider to the amount you desire. A setting of
“0” db or “-1” db is common.
4. Click the Process button and your audio is now nor-
malized.
For a description of the “More” and “Preview” buttons, see the chapter
“Audio Processing and Functions” in the Operation Manual.
Reverse
The “Reverse” command reverses the audio selection.
This will sound as if you were playing a tape backwards.
1. With the Object Selection tool, click on the audio
event you wish to change. In our case, let’s pick the bass
audio event.
You can also use the “Range Selection” tool and select the section of
audio you want.
2. On the Audio menu–Process submenu, select “Re-
verse”.
