Musical Mode
You can use the Musical Mode to tempo-match audio loops to the project tempo.
Musical Mode allows you to lock audio clips to the project tempo by using realtime
time stretching. This is very useful if you want to use audio in your project without
worrying too much about timing.
If you want to use Musical Mode, verify that th
e length in bars corresponds to the
audio file you imported. If necessary, listen to your audio and enter the correct
length in bars and beats.
When Musical Mode is activated, audio events wi
ll adapt to any tempo changes in
Cubase, just like MIDI events.
You can activate Musical Mode
on the toolbar.
NOTE
It is also possible to activate/deactivate Musical Mode from within the Pool by
clicking the corresponding checkbox in the Musical Mode column.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Cubase supports ACID® loops. These loops are standard audio files but with
embedded tempo/length information. When ACID® files are imported into Cubase,
Musical Mode is automatically activated and the loops will adapt to the project
tempo.
