Creating New Files From Events
An audio event plays a section of an audio clip, which in turn refers to one or more audio files on
the hard disk. However, you can create a new file that consists only of the section that is played
by the event.
PROCEDURE
1. Select one or several audio events.
2. Set up fade in, fade out, and event volume.
These settings will be applied to the new file.
3. Select Audio> Bounce Selection.
You are asked whether you want to replace the selected event or not.
4. Do one of the following:
●
To create a new file that only contains the audio in the original event, click Replace.
●
To create a new file and add a clip for the new file to the Pool, click No.
RESULT
If you clicked Replace, a clip for the new file is added to the Pool, and the original event is
replaced by a new event playing the new clip.
If you clicked No, the original event is not replaced.
NOTE
You can also apply the Bounce Selection function to audio parts. In that case, the audio from all
events in the part is combined to a single audio file. If you select Replace when asked, the part is
replaced with a single audio event playing a clip of the new file.

Audio Files and Audio Clips
In Cubase, audio editing and processing are non-destructive.
When you edit or process audio in the Project window, the audio file on the hard disk remains
untouched. Instead, your changes are saved to an audio clip that is automatically created on
import or during recording, and that refers to the audio file. This allows you to undo changes or
revert to the original version.
If you apply processing to a specific section of an audio clip, a new audio file that contains only
this section is created. The processing is applied to the new audio file only and the audio clip is
automatically adjusted, so that it refers both to the original file and to the new, processed file.
During playback, the program will switch between the original file and the processed file at the
correct positions. You will hear this as a single recording, with processing applied to one section
only.
