Introduction
This chapter describes Cubase VST’s features for matching the tempo of the audio 
to the MIDI playback tempo and vice versa. These features are based on the Match 
Points described on page 249 in the Audio Editor chapter. 
Having a reasonably good knowledge of the Mastertrack Graphic Editor will sim-
plify working with Audio/Tempo matching. If you want to check up on details, see 
the Mastertrack and Hitpoints chapters.
Opening the Audio/Tempo Match Editor
This part is the same, whether you want to match the audio tempo to MIDI or vice 
versa:
1. Select the Audio Event in the Audio Editor.
At this point, you may have created Match Points already (see the Audio Edi-
tor chapter), or you may do it in the Match Audio/Tempo editor as described 
on the following pages.
2. Select the Event, pull down the Do pop-up menu and select Match Audio 
with Tempo...
The editor window opens.
This window is very much like the Mastertrack Graphic Editor, but with four extra 
features:
• A waveform display directly below the graphic tempo display.
• Match Points are shown in the Time Hitpoint area.
• An additional fader in the lower left corner.
• An additional Audio pop-up menu.
