Recovery of Audio Recordings
Cubase allows you to recover audio recordings.
You can recover audio recordings in two situations:
You hit Record too late.
For this to work, you must specify an audio pre-record time.
The system failed during recording.
Specifying an Audio Pre-Record Time
You can capture up to 1 minute of any incoming audio that you play in stop mode or during
playback. This is possible because Cubase can capture audio input in buffer memory, even when
not recording.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Preferences dialog, select Record > Audio.
2. Specify a time (up to 60 seconds) in the Audio Pre-Record Seconds eld.
This activates the buffering of audio input, making pre-record possible.
3. Make sure that an audio track is record-enabled and receives audio from the signal source.
4. When you have played some audio material that you want to capture (either in stop mode
or during playback), click
Record.
5. Stop the recording after a few seconds.
This creates an audio event that starts where the cursor position was when you activated
recording. If you were in stop mode, and the cursor was at the beginning of the project,
you may have to move the event to the right in the next step. If you were playing along to
a project, you leave the event where it is.
6. Select the Object Selection tool and place the cursor on the bottom left edge of the event
so that a double arrow appears. Then click and drag to the left.
RESULT
The event is now extended, and the audio that you played before activating the recording is
inserted. This means that if you played along during playback, the captured notes end up exactly
where you played them in relation to the project.

Recovery of Audio Recordings after System Failure
Cubase allows you to recover audio recordings after a system failure, because of a power cut or
other mishap, for example.
When you experience a computer crash during a recording, relaunch the system and check the
project record folder. By default, this is the Audio subfolder inside the project folder. It should
contain the audio le that you recorded, from the moment when you started recording to the
time when your computer crashed.
NOTE
This feature does not constitute an overall guarantee by Steinberg. While the program
itself was improved in such a way that audio recordings can be recovered after a system
