Tutorial 2: Editing audio
Muting
Muting an event stops you from hearing just that event.
You may want to mute events on a track so that the track
continues to play except for the events you mute. Note
that this is different from muting a track.
1. Choose the Mute tool.
2. Click on the event you wish to mute.
3. To unmute an event, click on the muted event with the
Mute tool again and it returns to normal.
• If you drag with the Mute tool you can mute a number of
events at a time. Equally this will unmute events that are
muted.
Erasing
1. Choose the Erase tool.
2. Click on the events you wish to erase.
Adding a fade
You can add a fade to an event to give the effect that the
event is fading in or fading out.
1. Choose the Object Selection tool.
2. Click on the event you wish to add a fade to.
3. Click on one of the blue triangles and move it so that a
fade appears.
4. For more advanced fades you can double-click on the
fade area to open up the fade dialog. See the chapter
“Fades and Crossfades” in the Operation Manual for more
information.
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 time stretch, to name a few. For a full explana-
tion on processing audio, see the chapter “Audio pro-
cessing 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.
Notice the blue triangles that appear at the top left
and top right of the event.
