anyway to take effects off individual clips?

[axis_D]

I have an individual clip (not a whole track) that I applied some compression to, and processed it. Is there anyway to remove that and have the clip go back to how it was originally recorded? I have already saved and closed the project.

Also, on a side note. Is there any way to copy and paste the effects from one clip to another? Again, i’m not talking about the insert effects on a whole track. I’m talking about the effects when you select a clip, then choose audio>plug ins>compression, etc… and then you can preview it, or process the effect on just that clip alone.

manual p68:

When you edit or process audio in the Project window, you always work with an audio clip that is automatically created on import or during recording. This audio clip refers to an audio file on the hard disk that itself remains untouched. This means, that audio editing and processing is “non-destructive”, in the sense that you can always undo changes or revert to the original versions.
An audio clip does not necessarily refer to just one original audio file! If you apply some processing to a specific section of an audio clip, for example, this will create a new audio file containing only this section. The processing will then be applied to the new audio file only, leaving the original audio file unchanged. Finally, 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. This feature makes it possible to undo processing at a later stage, and to apply different processing to different audio clips that refer to the same original file.

Also, on a side note. Is there any way to copy and paste the effects from one clip to another? Again, i’m not talking about the insert effects on a whole track. I’m talking about the effects when you select a clip, then choose audio>plug ins>compression, etc… and then you can preview it, or process the effect on just that clip alone.

If you can save it as a preset then yes, but i’m not shure if there is a preset function available at that level
i pass the second question on to someone else.

kind regards,

i WAS just playing with a way to do this - alternatively. One thing to try is duplicate your tracks and turn of the plugins there.

Yes there is! It is called “offline process history” (C6 ops manual p254)
This keeps a track of all the processing applied to the clip (from within Cubase) and allows you to remove any of the steps or go back and change parameters of any of the steps. It’s very powerful, but not many people seem to know about it.

Right click on the clip and select “Audio → Offline Process History” (why they didn’t put this on the “process” menu where folks can see it better is a mystery)
