You may or may not have noticed that the manual is quite good at naming things, but not at explaining things. I like to think that this forum fills the void.
This part of Cubase is a bit tricky. Watch a few videos on youtube. The tools are there, but when they show up and how to use them will take a little practice. Be patient and the system will fall into place.
Hello, I am facing the exact same issue in Cubase 11.
I have imported a wav file in an audio track.
If I select the audio part it opens in the Audio Part Editor.
But unlike what the manual shows on page 574, many tools are missing in the toolbar.
And especially, if I select a range using the range selection tool, I cannot use it to crop to the selection (and the menu Edit/Range/Crop is grayed out)
I have been looking for hours without any success so far…
