Title: Cubase Pro 16 – How to Move Tempo-Aligned Audio Tracks to 00:00:00:00 Without Losing Metronome Synchronization?
Hi everyone,
I’m using Cubase Pro 16 and need some help with audio positioning after tempo detection.
I imported a complete reference song along with its individual stems (vocals, drums, bass, piano, guitar, and other instruments).
My workflow was:
-
Imported the reference audio and all stems.
-
Set the project tempo to 90 BPM.
-
Selected all the audio events.
-
Used Detect Tempo and Align to Project.
-
Confirmed that the audio plays in synchronization with the metronome throughout the song.
Everything is working correctly in terms of tempo synchronization.
The problem:
All my audio events now start at 00.00.02.28 instead of 00.00.00.00.
The Info Line shows:
-
Start:
00.00.02.28 -
Snap:
00.00.02.39 -
Project Tempo:
90.000 BPM
I tried moving all the audio events together to the beginning of the project, including manually changing the Start value to 00.00.00.00.
However, whenever I do this, the audio no longer aligns correctly with the metronome.
My question:
Is there a way to move all the audio events to start at 00.00.00.00 while preserving their existing alignment with the project tempo and metronome?
Ideally, I want to keep the project at 90 BPM, maintain synchronization across all stems, and have the audio events start at the beginning of the timeline.
Is there a specific Cubase function or workflow for achieving this?
I’m happy to share screenshots if needed.
Thanks in advance for your help!
