"Defined Tempo of Audio File" and "Defined Time Signature of Audio File" are greyed out

Hi there!

Does anyone know why these boxes are greyed out?

Thank you.

is it a contest? Is that why only that small area is shown, and not any selection etc.?

I mean, please proivide context for this

The two boxes (“Defined Tempo of Audio File” and “Defined Time Signature of Audio File”) are both part of the Sample Editor, and for some reason the values inside couldn’t be edited anymore (as a result of audio bounce). As it’s stated here, the only way to make the boxes editable again, is to remove the sample from Audio Pool, save the project, restart Cubase, and then import the audio file back. Also, a post suggests that bouncing the audio sample would make the boxes editable again, but it appears to me that bouncing is exactly the cause why the boxes become uneditable. I just wanted to know if there’s anything one can do to prevent the boxes from becoming uneditable.

I am not exactly sure why this sometimes happens (I think I have seen it twice here). For me, the solution was to select the offending audio clip, and then “Bounce Selection”. The bounced replacement can then be modified

This is not the case for you?

This is not the case for you?

Yes. It’s not the case for me. Bouncing is quite the reason why the boxes become uneditable. I believe though that I’m beginning to understand why this is happening (why the boxes become uneditable). Please let me get back to you. Right now it’s difficult for me to find the proper words.
