Introduction
About the program versions
The documentation covers two different operating systems
or “platforms”; Windows and Mac OS X.
Some features and settings are specific to one of the plat-
forms, Windows or Mac OS X. This is clearly stated in the
applicable cases. In other words:
Ö If nothing else is said, all descriptions and procedures
in the documentation are valid for both Windows and Mac
OS X.
The screenshots are taken from the Windows version.
Key command conventions
Many of the default key commands in Cubase AI use mod-
ifier keys, some of which are different depending on the
operating system. For example, the default key command
for Undo is [Ctrl]-[Z] under Windows and [Command]-[Z]
under Mac OS X.
When key commands with modifier keys are described in
this manual, they are shown with the Windows modifier
key first, in the following way:
[Win modifier key]/[Mac modifier key]-[key]
For example, [Ctrl]/[Command]-[Z] means “press [Ctrl] un-
der Windows or [Command] under Mac OS X, then press
[Z]”. Similarly, [Alt]/[Option]-[X] means “press [Alt] under
Windows or [Option] under Mac OS X, then press [X]”.
Ö Please note that this manual often refers to “right-
clicking”, e.g. to open context menus. If you are using a
Macintosh computer with a single-button mouse, hold
down [Ctrl] and click.
