• FLAC Files, Free Lossless Audio Codec, is an open source format.
Audio files recorded in this format are typically 50 % to 60 % smaller
than regular Wave files.
NOTE
If your recorded Wave file is larger than 4 GB and Use RF64 Format is
activated on the When Recording Wave Files larger than 4
GB pop-up
menu (File > Preferences > Record > Audio), your recording is saved as
an RF64 file. This way, you do not have to worry about the file size during
recording. However, keep in mind that this format is not supported by all
applications.
Stereo Pan Law
If you pan a channel left or right, the sum of the left and right side is higher
(louder), than if this channel is panned center. These modes allow you to
attenuate signals panned center. 0
dB turns off constant-power panning.
Equal Power means that the power of the signal remains the same regardless
of the pan setting.
Volume Max
Allows you to specify the maximum fader level. By default, this is set to
+12
dB. If you load projects that were created with Cubase versions older
than 5.5, this value is set to the old default value of +6
dB.
HMT Type (MIDI only (Cubase Elements only))
Allows you to specify a mode for Hermode tuning of MIDI notes.
HMT Depth (MIDI only (Cubase Elements only))
Allows you to specify the overall degree of retuning.
