Novice - how to align audio files with my other loops

I am new to Cubase and I am simply attempting to align my acapella audio file with my drum and instrument loops?

Hi,
you can drag and move the audio event back or forth, you can use the time-stretching function to alter the event’s tempo or use the time warp tool to adjust certain points of an event.
With these terms, you can read the manual or/and find a tutorial online and understand how they work.

You can also choose the desired tempo for your project and any audio event that is in musical mode will adapt to that.

You can see and select the musical mode selection in the pool or info line

In short, I have an acapella audio file that I cannot for the life of me match to my drum loop? Both are 120BPM. But it sounds disjointed and horrible?

Use the Time Warp tool and make the time adjustments you prefer directly in the event.
