Cubase SX users - I need some help.

Post by Max » Tue Aug 30, 2005 1:26 pm

Hi guys. <BR>I'm using Cubase SX2 and I'm a beginner I must say. Ok, i have a drum loop opened in audio track and i want to apply delay on the very last beat of the loop. So i doubleclick the event and open the event editor &#40;or audio editor&#41;-cant remember the name. Then i select the last beat of the loop and put delay on it. So obviously the event is becoming longer than it was-but the part after the loop &#40;the delay sound&#41;is in grey colour and when i go back to the multitrack i only get the same loop with same lenght with only the very start of the delayed sound. So how can i apply this grey area in the audio editor - which has delayed sound in it - to the loop I'm trying to modify? So that the last beat would be changed and i could hear the delay till the end of it in the audio track of project....you know. <BR> Sorry my English, <BR> <BR>appreciate, <BR>Max

If I understand you right <BR>it sounds like you are trying to do some sort of off-line processing of your audio loop. <BR>The problem you are getting is because Cubase won't automatically extend the audio event to accomodate your new bit. <BR> <BR>If you want to add delay to the last beat - the best way would be to use automation. <BR>Look automation up in the pdf manual. This is one of the powerful things about a DAW like cubase and you really need to get to grips with it. It's easy and intuative. <BR> <BR>If you want the rest of the loop to continue playing after the delay you would need to copy the beat you want to delay to a seperate track and apply the delay to that. Which is another way you could do it anyway without using automation. <BR> <BR>You would do all this without going into the sample editor.

Also, if you are new to cubase, there are some really excellent tutorial videos from askvideo ..https://askvideo.com/index.php?cPath=22 ... 19aa02d24c

I found these great. They also have tutorial videos for Ableton Live, Logic and Protools
