Recovering Audio Recordings
Cubase allows you to recover audio recordings in two situations: if you specified an audio
pre-record time when you hit Record too late and after a system failure during recording.
Specifying an Audio Pre-Record Time
You can capture up to1minute 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. Select File> Preferences> Record> Audio.
2. Specify a time (up to 60 seconds) in the Audio Pre-Record Seconds field.
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.

Recovering 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 file 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 failure, it is always possible that a computer crash, power cut, etc. might have
damaged another component of the computer, making it impossible to save or recover
any of the data.
